Can I tell which keyboard a key is pressed on?

My app users have a second keyboard with special function keys. Unfortunately, the keys are mapped to buttons such as F, G, F1, etc. I would like to handle the PreviewKeyDown and prevent any keys from these keyboards that have an effect in regular controls like TextBoxes.

In WPF, is there a way to determine which keyboard raised an event?

No, this is not possible in WPF.

using System.Windows.Input, you can achieve this by capturing an event that fires in your code. The sample code below shows how this can be done in a text box.

private void SampleTextbox_PreviewKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Key == Key.Delete) // delete key is pressed
            {
                e.Handled = true; // Ignore key press
            }
        }
