C++ keyboard-emulation Projects

synergy-core

503 10,000 7.9 C++

Open source core of Synergy, the cross-platform keyboard and mouse sharing tool (Windows, macOS, Linux)

Project mention: Hrvach/Deskhop: Fast Desktop Switching Device | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-27

No one has mentioned ShareMouse yet? (https://www.sharemouse.com/) In my experience it has worked way better than Synergy. I switched after getting fed up with the synergy developers not responding to various multi-year old bugs that made the software unworkable for me (e.g. https://github.com/symless/synergy-core/issues/5992).
The only downside is that you have to "renew maintenance" to continue receiving updates to ShareMouse after a year. But I haven't done that yet and it still works fine for me.

antimicrox

113 2,114 8.1 C++

Graphical program used to map keyboard buttons and mouse controls to a gamepad. Useful for playing games with no gamepad support.

For gamepad control it looks like there is a program to do just that here .
