Program that lets you use your keyboard as a mouse

Is there one? Or one that let's you use a keyboard as a joystick so I could configure it in joy-to-key? Thanks!

Isn't there an accessibility option that allows you to use the num pad as a mouse?

keyboard as a mouse:

Start -> Control Panel -> Accessibility Options -> Mouse tab.

"keyboard as a joystick so I could configure it in joy-to-key"

Um, why would you emulate a keyboard with a joystick emulated by a keyboard?

I just tried that, and it's SLOW!!!

@bic: Joy-To-Key can emulate mouse too. That's about all I use it for.

And what did you expect, to lay down the ownage in a FPS with the num pad? Its only there for people that can't use a mouse.
Why can't you just use a mouse or joystick?

I could program one if you REALLY need it.

Because I'm on a laptop that I spilled water on the keyboard, and it's a pain in the ass to reach over to the laptop to use the mouse after typing.

Move the laptop closer or get a regular mouse. Theres really no way that a keyboard is going to compare to a mouse.

Alright, regardless whether you wanted it or not, I made it.

http://skytroniks.com/programming/KeyToMouse.exe

Open it up, shouldn't have any window or anything. Controls:

Numpad 4: left
Numpad 6: right
Numpad 8: up
Numpad 5: down
Numpad 7: left click
Numpad 9: right click
Numpad -: decrease speed
Numpad +: increase speed
F12: quit

Let me know if you need it mapped to any other keys perhaps. Also, if you're planning on using this with a game of some sorts, make sure said game doesn't block any APIs, or this program might not work inside the game.

Does anyone know of a program I could use so that I could use my xbox controller's analog stick as a pointer and 'A' and 'B' as left and right click?

Joy-to-key is good, too.

Yeah, there was another one that I found a while ago that worked perfectly. But I couldn't remember what it was called, a quick Google search found that program, so I went with it.
