How can I run a mouse with a keyboard?
Chad:
I need to set left and right clicks from my mouse to keys on the keyboard. I am using a mouse as a trackball and pointing deice but I do not want to add extra buttons just for right and left clicking. I want to map this action to a key that I am already using on my control box.
Thanks

In windows 98, I remember there was something in the accesibility options that would allow you to use keyboard buttons as a mouse...I'm not sure if you can assign just the buttons to the keyboard though.
Ah, just found it in XP, it's called "MouseKeys" I don't see anything to do just the mouse buttons, though.

I have to assume alot since I know nothing of your project... but you could just wire one of your "regular" buttons as a mouse button...
i.e. in SFII layout
123
456
Make button 3 your "left click"... (you can in MAME map mouse clicks to buttons)
*shrug*
That's one option anyways...

Could always solder the mouse click buttons to the keyboard PCB for something really weird.... ;D

I have win XP and I just did not want to drill another hole for the mouse buttons. I like the wiring of another button to the right and left buttons on the mouse. I was looking for a free software way to do it. Here is a pic.
I have mounted the track ball below the panel and wanted to know how to get the buttons working without drilling more holes.
