Help needed with multiple usb devices

[shaddow76]

Hi, help needed!

I've been working on my first cabinet for the last 2 years and thought I had finally finished!....the recent problem I'm having is that after restarting my system mame/ windows is renumbering my usb keyboard/ Ipac/ usb devices so that my original configurations are no longer recognised.
This seems to happen even though I have not unplugged / plugged any of the devices. I have enabled multiple keyboards / multiple mice in mame ini file.  I have a trackball & spinner connected & an ipac4 & Ipac 2 . I also wish to have a wirless keyboard attached to be used to play winvice C64 emulator. Is there a simple way to rename / set priority of all my usb devices? If not Im thinking of disabling multiple keyboards/ multiple mice and just using the same key set for all keyboards?
Thanks in advance for your help

Check this out and see if it helps.  I've not followed it's development lately so there may be a better option now but it's great place to start.
