I work for project which will use 15 - 25 keyboards for children teaching. Current version of software uses /dev/input/evdevXX interface, which is allways crowded and reach maximum allowed 32 device files very fast - 12 keyboards for ordinary laptop PC. I take a look into /dev/hiddev* code, which have similar protocol like evdev, but is disabled for keyboards.
