I'm trying to set up a second keyboard to use as macro keys to run scripts. i.e
30:::/path/to/script.sh
Issue I am having is my computer types the letter (in this example the letter a) along with running script.sh. Is there a way to keep the second keyboard from typing anything and only run the commands/scripts I have set for it in the config? I have tried things like "grab" and what not but it never seems to work.

Just disable it with:
xinput list
Find your keyboard and and then run
xinput --disable [id]
This will block input from being displayed.

instead of using ID use device name!
Eg. xinput --disable 'keyboard:USB USB Keyboard'
