Use USB Keyboard with a USB Switch:

See about using a USB switch. You'd turn on the one you want to use, when sitting up or standing down. You'll find plenty on Amazon. Which to get defects on the ports.

"I am having trouble why anyone would want 2 keyboards plugged in?? Can you explain that?"


SURE !!


I am disabled so sometimes I sit and sometimes I need to stand. I use a stand up desk so I have a keyboard and mouse on the desk and then when I sit down I have a tray under the desk that pulls out and it has a keyboard and mouse on the lower layer The desk does not go down far enough for me to sit and use the keyboard on the top layer
