Windows HID Keyboard and Mouse input workaround?
As I understand Windows does not give access to HID Keyboard Device and HID-compliant mouse data.
So [hi] object in max does not work for me.
..but I think that it should be possible to get data somehow.
So I was looking for some kind of HID device emulator, some third party external for max or a windows software...
-software that translates windows keyboard mouse HID data to MIDI
- or software that duplicates Windows mouse HID data to emulated HID controller joystick for example.
Does anybody know some workaround?
https://sourceforge.net/projects/vjoy-controller/
That is workaround for controling software which needs jostick,
max is not depending in it.
... mouse and keyboard can't be deactivated from the system,
so whenever You move mouse to send midi, it moves mouse coordinates as well.
Only in old days in mac OS9 and hid object, choosing mouse as HID would disable it's systemwide
functionality.
Using a keyboard as HID is not needed, why not key and keyup objects ?
And mousestate which outputs all mouse relevant data ?
Rather buy a cheap joystick, or make one for 4 $ using arduino.
