So, its no problem for Elite to differentiate between multiple Joysticks, but is it possible to have multiple NUM-pads of the same type configured with different actions, or prevents Windows the game to recognize them like it does with multiple mice?
Multiple NUM-Pads possible?

well, well, i don't think so. also if you plug more keyboards in you can't configure them separately...
*except*
programmable keypads and boards.
i'm currently oogling some of them:

Yeah, I had both of them in mind too, but the G13 is rather pricy (and not lefty compatible) and the T9 isn't programmable and is recognized as a normal Keyboard as far as I know.
I bought one of these:

Well, thats at least 22 buttons in a small space.
You can have more than one number pad as I do but it cannot be used to do something different from the one on the keyboard, they work in parallel, just in different positions.
I use the (expensive) XKeys 16 stick which is programmable, if you have some programming knowledge, which I use to trigger Voice Attack actions and I have the thing set up for 60 additional keys although I only use 18 at present.

I know its a bit pricy but it can have multipule levels of keys / macros bound & its easy to program https://www.amazon.de/Razer-Orbweav...e=UTF8&qid=1504980019&sr=1-170&keywords=razer
it can auto switch between profiles on game start so no need to remember to select the correct profile your self

But you can! With free program called HID Macros. You can have multiple keyboards of any type and bind them differently. I used it with FSX.
I still have my last Razer Black Widow lazing about the basement which only got replaced because the Chroma is un-necessarily fun. Now I'm sorely tempted to re-attach it but IDK if I have a neeeeed for it so much as it would be satisfying in a "985hp engine in your daily driver" kind of way. Along with a 3-pc HOTAS I probably don't require all that many inputs for any gameplay reasons beyond crazy macros since I haven't even used up all the keys on the main board, but having two banks of glowing controls is deffo spaceship-worthy.
Looks like the dev lost access to the original OS on which they wrote the HID version, but there's a more recent version linked in this post.
Woah, what a neat tool. Thanks for the info.
Or you could get a pack of two of these Multi-Function Displays (MFD) {buttons only}:

Lots of buttons, no drivers, two seperate USB input devices, recognised by windows and by E D - I love their convenience. (They are good for flight sims too.)
