  • A problem clearly stated, is a problem half solved
Im trying to find a way to have my usb CP to be able to wake my pc from a screensaver with having to dig out the keyboard or mouse to wake it up.
Im not using the maximus arcade screensaver option, only the windows screensaver.
A usb mouse/keyboard can, why not a game controller.
The usb interface i have is a In-Mo 2 player interface

opted to use MA's built in screensaver instead.
Now all i need to press is my exit button to leave the screensaver, and go from there.

You could always use JoyToKey and have one of your buttons send a space.
