you cant. current kbdmux(4) implementation makes *all* keyboards/keypads 
identical.

from kbdmux(4) man page

CAVEATS
      The kbdmux keyboard driver switches all slave keyboards into K_RAW 
mode.
      Thus all slave keyboards attached to the kbdmux keyboard share the 
same
      state.  The kbdmux keyboard is logically equivalent to one 
keyboard with
      lots of duplicated keys.
