Title: Remapping Mouse
Post by: RetroBorg on May 30, 2005, 12:48:31 pm

I want to build a cheap Visual Pinball control box for my father in-law who has been adddicted to Visual Pinball since I put it on his computer.

I've got a spare USB 5 button mouse sitting around and I thought this would make an easy interface just wire up some arcade buttons to the mouse board. Only problem is Visual Pinball doesn't accept keyboard input in it's key mapping options.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a program that can remap my mouse so when I press left button it will be seen as a keyboard key etc? Or does anybody have an alternative solution? Thanks in anticipation.  ???

If you have a cheap USB joystick you could hack it then use Joy2Key (or whatever its called) to simulate keypresses.  Otherwise, Im not sure about the mouse buttons  :-[
