Actually, the Mac can tell which one is which, it just doesn't choose to act
upon the difference.  I used to run with more that one keyboard to test some
KB mapping I was doing, and the Keyboard DA notes that you have changed
keyboards and changes the picture if they are different.  But, even if they
are the same, the event with the keystroke in it has an identifier with
the keyboard's ADB ID.
