JoyToKey Description

We all know that to control a computer, a mouse and a keyboard are needed. However, you can use other devices to send the same input, and one of them is the joystick. Thus, instead of using it for gaming purposes only, this hardware device can be turned into a PC controller with the help of a dedicated software. Such a program is JoyToKey, a lightweight application especially designed to emulate keystrokes and mouse clicks using the joystick.

Key Features

• Supports up to 16 joysticks


• Enables creation of multiple configuration files


• Configurable with 32 buttons, 6 axes, and 2 POV switches for each joystick


• Mouse emulation supports buttons and wheel control


• Adjustable mouse movements and wheel rotation speed

The utility doesn't require installation but, instead, needs a supported device connected for it to load. JoyToKey is designed to support up to 16 joysticks, although it's highly improbable that one should need that many controllers.

Configuration

This application enables you to create several configuration files and load the one you need in no time. To do so, you can simply press the button you assigned for the 'Switch to the other configuration file' feature. The configuration includes 32 buttons, 6 axes, and 2 Point of View (POV) switches for each of the joysticks.

Mouse Emulation

Insofar as the mouse emulation is concerned, JoyToKey can handle both buttons and wheel. It also has a function for adjusting mouse movements as well as wheel rotation, making them faster or slower, as you need.

Compatibility

This software is equipped and ready to offer an interesting experience to anyone interested in turning their joystick(s) into a PC controlling device. With JoyToKey, you should be able to easily get along with applications that are not even designed to accept input from a joystick, including Office apps and many more.
