Title: Something that I cannot figure out

How do you assign mouse buttons? Should I have 2 seperate buttons or use existing ones on the cab?

Well what I did was that I used an Optipac and they have wiring for the two mouse buttons, very intuitive.  What are you using to interface the CPU?

I am mounting a wingman action gamepad under the Cp so only to analog stick will be seen (a la Motorfish). I am using Joymouse v4.2 and now I realized what I can do duh....the program allows the gamepads buttons to be the mousebuttons so when I hack the Gamepad apart I will wire two of the buttons to be used for the mouse. I swear sometimes I am so dense!

I am using hagstrom encoders KE-72 and ME-4, my trackball and spinner connect to the ME-4 (which has mouse button connectors) I wanted to know if my player 1 buttons could be connected to both the KE-72 as a keyboard input, and to the ME-4 as a mouse button input at the same time and function as both.  I had a post about this before, but the answers were rather sketchy.
