JoyToKey v7.3.0 is a keyboard emulator for joysticks, converting joystick input into keyboard and mouse inputs. This allows users to control applications, including Word and Excel, using joysticks. Key features include support for up to 16 joysticks, multiple configuration files, automatic shooting, mouse emulation, and adjustable mouse movement speed. The software also allows switching between configuration files and temporarily using settings from a different joystick. The latest update includes an option to auto-start with Windows and fixes an issue causing sleep mode problems. Users must run the program as an administrator to enable auto-start.
JoyToKey v7.3.0 has been released. This program serves as a keyboard emulator for joysticks, converting joystick inputs into keyboard (and mouse) actions. It’s particularly useful for controlling applications that do not natively support joystick input, enabling you to operate even Word, Excel, and more with joysticks!
Features:
* Supports configurations for up to 16 joysticks.
* Multiple configuration file support
You can create various configuration files and select any of them at your convenience.
* Offers several useful features…
o Automatic button firing
o Mouse emulation (including wheel functionality)
o “Adjust mouse movements” feature
When activated, mouse movement (or wheel rotation) speeds up (or slows down).
* “Switch to another configuration file” feature
You can toggle to and activate a different configuration file using a designated button.
* “Temporarily use settings from another joystick” feature
(Similar to the “shift” command in SNESKey. For instance, if you typically use joystick1 for keyboard emulation, pressing this button will temporarily activate joystick3’s configuration (which might emulate the mouse or similar). Keep in mind that joystick3 is a virtual device).
JoyToKey Changelog:
Now supports “Auto start with Windows”.
To enable this, run JoyToKey in administrator mode by right-clicking and selecting “Run as Administrator”, then activate the menu option “Settings” -> “Auto start with Windows”.
Resolved the issue preventing Windows from entering sleep mode while JoyToKey was active.
