Title: Software that converts mouse movements to keystrokes?
Post by: Well Fed Games on April 04, 2012, 01:20:40 pm

As the title says, any software out there that could covert (for instance) an increase in the mouse X axis to the input of the right arrow key being pressed?

Auto hot key.  

MouseMove, -1, 0:: Left
MouseMove, 1, 0:: Right

I don't think the above is exactly right but that is on the right track.  You may have to set up polling with a more advanced script.  Check the AHK forums.    

Edit:  I think I was barking up the wrong tree with MouseMove, that would be used to do the opposite of what you want.  Sorry, AHK is still a good bet but you'll have to dig in to find a solution. 

I think that glovepie link (http://sites.google.com/site/carlkenner/glovepie) might be a better bet.  I haven't used it myself but it looks like it'll do the trick for mapping analog movements to dig.

Ah, thanks, I really need to learn AHK, seems like it is the answer to a lot of my questions!

I'm brainstorming on using a mouse hack to control a driving game that defaults to the left and right arrows for steering...
