You have to find the ID of the device but then you can enable disable it from the command line...

Back before bootcamp properly supported macbooks I used this to switch the speakers off when I put headphones in my macbook (you used to have to change a reg entry and disable/re-enable the soundboard )

Anyway that got pretty tedious pretty quickly so I wrote a couple cmd scripts to enable/disable the device and load the appropriate .reg file.

Should be easy enough to put the command in a script then shortcut it to an icon on the desktop to run it.

Could have a couple icons, Keyboard ON, Keyboard OFF each to pass the appropriate command to devcon to enable/disable it
