2 monitors and 2 controls in 1 PC

[fmpsagara]

I'm thinking of using two monitors but I'm not sure if what I'm thinking is possible.
I wanted to play like 2k17 using a controller on one monitor and the other monitor uses the usual keyboard/mouse.
Is this possible?

at the same time, i.e. two people, no (well not without a special version of windows).

What version of windows?
Or is possible to bind an input device, i.e. controller, keyboard to a specific application. Let's say for example bind the controller input to nba 2k17 and the keyboard input will not interfere on the nba 2k17

"Special" version of Windows as in it would have to be specially re-written or modified to make that possible, in other words no such version exists yet.

If this is your main reason, I wouldn't recommend it all since is not possible, as Phillip said.

Although, you will find other benefits in using multiple displays. Such as playing on one and use WhatsApp web, Facebook or whatever you want in the other one. Some games might feel a bit laggy if you don't have a powerful GPU since it needs to "keep" the desktop and a software running at the same time.

Anyway, I find it really useful. Currently I have a 144Hz as main display (gaming) and a 1080p secondary display (browser, etc.)

It might have been multipoint that I was thinking of.

But if there is one person, using a controller and a keyboard at different times then it will just work, the controller mimics keyboard and mouse commands in effect, it's a simple dual screen setup.

But if you are talking about 2 people doing different things on different screens at the same time, then you have a problem and need additional software.
