Mouse/Keyboard Assignment

[Guest]

Newbie here,

While I've determined that while it's possible to assign a single
keystroke to a mouse button, it appears that the same is not possible on
the buttons on the MS extended keyboards, but launching programs is.

Question... can someone recommend a small simple program that can
"stuff" a string into a keyboard buffer and allow the focus to return to
the program that was active when the button was pressed to accomplish
storing strings and/or commands to these potentially useful buttons?

Thanks in advance,

We use programable keyboards from VersaKey to do this.

thanks for the response.

am currently trying to increase the productivity of this purchase ;-)
plus, exploit the wireless capabilites by moving the keyboard/mouse tray
to the chair, but will take a look at VersaKey

Will also return to my search quest and post here if I find a software
soluton since this appears to be a dead thread.

Thanks again,
