Mouse click to key press utility?
« on: February 14, 2010, 07:30:51 am »
I've always wanted to just one more button on my x-arcade tankstick.
The standalone trackball they sell has 3 mouse buttons and the tankstick only has two,
so I figured there was one set of wires going unused inside and I was right.

Plugged them into the trackball "cheater" button on the back and it functions as the center mouse button.
I'd like it to be a dedicated exit key (ESC).

Does anyone know of any software that captures mouse clicks and posts them as key presses?
I searched, but only came up with utilities that do the reverse.

AutoHotKey seems to do the job.
Hopefully it will work with Future Pinball.
