Keyboard equivalents for mouse movement?

Question

I have a gaming joystick that has a "top hat" that could be configured nicely into a game I play.
Keyboard strokes and macros can be assigned to all of the buttons including the top hat. IE: move forward is the letter "E"... shooting a weapon can be configured to fire a burst of five with a macro, and then assigning it to a key.

I need to know if there are any keyboard strokes (shift/alt/^) as an example which would emulate the movement of a mouse. No sideways movement is needed (but would be neat)... but I definitely want to find forward backward left right.

Thanks!!!

PS: Keyboard mouse wouldn't work because the mouse must function during the game for other movements and activities. This a PC.

Answer 1

It is possible to rig the arrow keys to operate like a mouse, and then rig your joystick to operate like an arrow key. Go to your control panel and choose "accessability options." In those options is a tab for the mouse, from which you can turn on mouse keys. See how that works for you.

I suspect it won't give you what you want, however. It moves the mouse pretty slowly and doesn't give you quite the same definition.

Good luck.

this isn't a keyboard difficulty. it really is a application difficulty. Keys have diverse codes as mouse moves. yet there exist per chance a touch software which translates and sends the codes from the keyboard as mousecodes to the gadget and for your software.
