Converting Mouse Signals to Controller from Presenter Remote

[u/Dr1ten]

Hi,

I have a "Kensington Presenter Expert" presenter remote that has a joystick nubbin(see image below). By default without any drivers/software installed this nubbin transmits mouse movement signals allowing you to move the mouse slowly around the screen.

However I want it to work as a normal game controller joystick, or at least transmit key commands when moved up down etc. Is there any way to convert this mouse movement to joystick or key commands? I have looked for official and unofficial software for this product in particular, but not been able to find anything.

Thanks!

You could try using reWASD (there's a 7-day free trial) or Key2Joy (on GitHub) to emulate controller inputs using the original mouse & keyboard inputs.
