    What is the motivation behind this holy quest? Commented Jul 22, 2012 at 5:09
  • Due to the extreme difficulty this has posed, it currently stands as a matter of interest and experimentation. My quest began however, as a way to customize the control keys of Windows MouseKeys, so that they could be used on a tablet (which I use) whilst retaining use of keys that are lost by the standard layout (ultimately, as legal mouse shortcuts for a popular MMORPG).

  • I wonder if you need to produce a hardware dongle of some sort that sits between the keyboard and the CPU, likely as part of the keyboard cable, and generate hardware-like key presses driven by some software driver. While I'm sure that something like this is possible, I also know that I don't have the wherewithal to create it, not now, and not in a million years. That's why to me it seems a holy grail quest. If you find the solution, please let me know. If on the other hand you find Castle Anthrax, let me know about that too!!! Commented Jul 22, 2012 at 5:47
  • That sounds especially difficult since my keyboard is compartmentalized in my tablet. Plugging in an exterior keyboard would solve half my problems. I'll keep you updated :) Commented Jul 22, 2012 at 6:04
  • >"What is the motivation behind this holy quest?" A Windows DirectX application that uses DirectInput; The only way to inject keystrokes is to modify the low level driver chain. A hardware device simulating HID input and addressable by an application would be a good solution. Commented Sep 3, 2014 at 13:50
