I have an extra USB numeric keypad that I was hoping to use for the radio keypads for some of the aircraft.

I downloaded the HID to Lorby Bridge, started Axis and Ohs as administrator and started the bridge app as administrator.  I have another keyboard which I have in the Device Blacklist, it is showing as 2 separate HID drivers (both in blacklist), I then added the remaining USB Wired Keyboard in the bridge app - ensuring that I changed the ports in both the app and aao to 43380

Problem is when I try to add a button in aao, it will not recognise the keypress on the numeric keypad, if I select the USB Wired Keyboard still no luck.  If I select Keyboard then it recognises the keypress but it also recognises a keypress from the other main keyboard.

Any help is appreciated..

Impossible to tell without having the device here. 

Assuming that you have figured out and configured the communications protocol for this HID keyboard correctly, then make sure that you don't pre-select any "device" in AAO when the button dialog is open. Bridge input will appear as MIDI events, not as keyboard keys or something like that.

I think that the HID bridge is the wrong choice here. It can only deal with hardware that uses feature buffers, and you have to supply the bitwise protocol how that buffer must be read.

Doesn't that keypad work like an extra Windows keyboard anyway? 

Yes it does, I think I was trying to make it too complicated.....
