Mouse buttons necessary?

Tahnok:

I considered going the way of wiring the mouse buttons into the regular buttons, but decided against it. It could cause errors, since every time you click you also press a key. It is only a matter of time before a program uses both the mouse and that key, and you run into problems.

Kremmit:

You could always double wire to the game buttons, but install a switch, so that those buttons are only mouse buttons when you want them to be. 

Heck, with that method, you could even wire to joystick switches- push left to left-click, push right to right-click, push twice to double click.  I'm not sure just why you'd want to, but for some reason it sounds cool to me.

DrumAnBass:

If there a way to do mouse buttons with a GPWiz encoder?

Will Joy2Key or RBJoy support mouse clicks?

Just curious... I was planning on soldering some wires onto my hacked Kensington trackball, but if I could avoid doing that it would be great, as I have hardly done any soldering before...

TOK:

I kept my mouse buttons from the Happ separate, but I kind of wish I did what jelwell suggested. I'd like a little bit cleaner look for my panel.

Anyone know of programs that can run into the program Tahnok mentions? I never considered this, but I really only use MAME on the cab.


AtomSmasher:

I kept mine seperate and if I did it over again, I would still keep them seperate.  2 extra buttons shouldn't cause too much clutter on a CP.
