1. OVERVIEW
-----------
This software enables you to control various windows applications (e.g.
a web browser, games on the web, Photoshop shortcuts, Microsoft office,
and even Windows itself) by using your favorite joystick. Whenever you
press joystick buttons and sticks, JoyToKey will convert the input into
keyboard strokes and mouse movements so that the target application works
as you pre-configured!
NOTE: On Windows Vista, 7, 8 or 10, you may not be able to control some
applications due to enhanced security control. If you encounter such
problems, try to launch JoyToKey.exe by opening right-click popup menu
and selecting "Run As Administrator".
2. KEY FEATURES
---------------
* Create multiple configuration files
You can create multiple configuration files and switch them at any time.
For example, create one config for a game, and create another one for
web browsing. JoyToKey also supports the automatic switching of an
active configuration file when the target application changes.
* Mouse emulation
You can also emulate mouse cursor movements, clicks and wheel rotation.
3. HOW TO INSTALL
-----------------
Simply unzip the archive file into some folder.
To uninstall this software, you only need to remove that folder.
(This software doesn't use a registry)
4. USAGE
--------
* Press "Create" button and create a new configuration file
* In the right panel, choose a button from the list and double click
(or press enter key) to open a button assignment window.
* If you are a new user and you have some trouble configuring JoyToKey,
please follow the instructions below.
ii) Please configure a few joystick buttons mapping to "a", "b" keys.
And then open a Notepad and press those joystick buttons.
Character "a" and "b" should be entered in the Notepad.
(Be sure to keep the JoyToKey program running, iconized in the task
tray at the bottom of the desktop.)
5. TIPS
-------
* SHIFT key function (switch to other joystick mapping temporarily)
At first, this feature (aka virtual joystick) may sound difficult to
understand, but it is very useful as it enables you to configure many
key mapping, more than the number of buttons you actually have!
For example, you may have only one joystick with only 6 buttons.
Then, you can only assign 6 different key mapping by default. However,
by assigning one button to switch to a virtual joystick-2, you can assign
5+5=10 different key mappings (Note: 1 button is used to switch between
two mappings). You could further assign another button to switch to a
virtual joystick-3, which will result in total 5+4+4=13 different key
mappings.
Normally, you define the most frequently used key mappings for a physical
joystick-1. Then, you could define less used key mappings for virtual
joystick-2, 3, 4, ...
