{
    GameInputKeyboardKind kind;
    uint32_t              layout;
    uint32_t              keyCount;
    uint32_t              functionKeyCount;
    uint32_t              maxSimultaneousKeys;
    uint32_t              platformType;

### Members

*kind*<br />
Type: [GameInputKeyboardKind](/reference/input/gameinput/enums/gameinputkeyboardkind)

Layout of the keyboard by keyboard type.

*layout*<br />
Type: uint32\_t

Layout of the keyboard by country/region and language. This parameter contains the Keyboard Layout ID values that are identical to those provided by the [GetKeyboardLayoutName](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-getkeyboardlayoutnamea) function, but expressed as a 32-bit integer instead of a string.

*keyCount*<br />
Type: uint32\_t

Number of keys on the keyboard.

*functionKeyCount*<br />
Type: uint32\_t

Number of function keys on the keyboard.

*maxSimultaneousKeys*<br />
Type: uint32\_t

Maximum number of simultaneous keystrokes that can be registered.

*platformType*<br />
Type: uint32\_t

Keyboard platform type.

*platformSubtype*<br />
Type: uint32\_t

Keyboard platform subtype.
