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

from kbdmux(4) man page

CAVEATS
The kbdmux keyboard driver switches all slave keyboards into K_RAW

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.
