I'm currently looking for 1-x person(s) who, unlike me, know a thing or two about programming. The idea is simple: Having an external num pad greatly improves accessability for those crucial keys/combinations in [enter your favourite game]. For this to have any point, the software must allow you to program the num pad just as you would program your joystick. It must also be able to seperate the external num pad from the internal. Furthermore, it should differentiate between num lock on/off. Also, since this num pad is most likely to be a USB unit, it should distinguish between several connected units.

I know that there are pads out there with software, but they are
1. Expensive. The num pad I got was cheap
2. Mostly designed for 'that' particular game

I ran a test, using the pad on several 3d games were the game allowed me to remap. And I found it promising. Now, I believe that with a good sw, many games can be enjoyed at a different level alltogether. Interested, or do you have any other ideas concerning this?

Thanks for responding and no, I wasn't going to... format whatever? doesn't sound like that's gonna relieve me of any problems. Anyway, good luck on your project.

As I said, I know diddley squat about programming in any way. This device does look interesting, but only as far as I understand what it does (which isn't much, I'm afraid). I will look into this, so thank you for posting this, but I'm not quite sure exactly what it does. Does it allow me to map any external pad, num pads and others? The technical stuff is way above me simple head :blink:

But thank you anyway k:
