I don't want to have a mouse sitting on my cocktail cabinet, but there are times I will need to start an application with the joystick (keyboard buttons/arrow keys).

Any suggestions. I remember seeing a program online that did this, but can't find it anymore. XP does this with mousekeys, but I need the keys to be the same as my joystick.

Please advise

Fuadramsey,

I recently placed a pc game on my cabinet and needed to change which keys controlled the left and right mouse button and I also wanted to control the mouse with the arrow keys. I found this handy program.

Keymouse - http://www.vsisystems.com/keyboardmouse.htm

Definitely try out the demo before you buy to make sure that it does what you need.
I will say that I was a bit irritated that when using the demo, it changed my homepage !.  :angry:

Fortunately the product did what I needed and performed as advertised and It wasn't a browser hijacker  :)

Good luck,

Bloodwyn

use auto-hotkey for that task. there is included a "Joy2Mouse" script in the installation, and I pretty sure it easily changeable to use with keys instead.

Othewice Here is the script, you might can cjhange and then remap to fit your need:

You can also use script to enable and disable a script it using batfiles too (if you only need for some PC games).
