Taproot Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Hi I have an external keypad i am using as CDU for some functions. Atm they are keybind as keypadnumbers etc. I wonder. Is it possible to mod the keypad so it is regisyered in windows as a gaming device and all the Keys are named "button 1", "button 2" etc etc..? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
HitchHikingFlatlander Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Its possible that a program like Joy to key or similar might work but I've never tried it. My gut tells me that the answer is no, since these devices are usually recognized like keyboards. But in the end if it still works for you it probably wont matter either way. http://dcs-mercenaries.com/ USA Squad
Thick8 Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 I have a small program made just for that (can't remember the name right now). It recognizes each keyboard independently form each other so you cam have several keyboards each configured differently. I'll post it later this evening when I'm on my game rig.

cichlidfan Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Wait, I remember now. It's HIDmacro. If the OP is using something like a Nostromo or G13 then that will not work since the keys do not send any signal unless they are programmed to do so. To do what the OP is asking really won't work. It would be far simpler to get a bunch of momentary switches a Bodnar or GPwiz board.
