System - Keyboard/Mouse (50)

HotKeyz allows you to define system hotkeys like "WIN+F" for a wide variety of actions from executing applications to a long list of system actions. By default, it features settings for minimizing, maximizing, restoring, or closing the active window. You can launch your e-mail window to compose a new email, control WinAmp-compatible players without opening the main window, or paste pre-defined text, special characters, or the current date and time.

System functions include opening and closing your CD or DVD ROM drive, power off, shutdown, logoff or rebooting. Start your screen saver, hide/unhide your desktop, taskbar, and more.

Noise keeps a PC from falling asleep, screensaver from activating, monitor from turning off, etc. by sending keystrokes to an (optionally) hidden window.

Shellfish is an on-screen virtual keyboard that is designed to get around programs that monitor your keyboard (keyloggers). It supports transparency and three different paste methods to help confuse these programs, especially useful when entering passwords or other crucial data.

Xpadder assigns keystrokes to your gamepad, giving you the ability to use your gamepad with any application you want (including older games with poor or no gamepad support such as DOS games). It also supports multiple gamepads, so playing multiplayer games with individual gamepads is a breeze. Combine this program's powerful features with its intuitive design and the result is an application that no one owning a gamepad should be without.

Note: the program has gone payware. Linking to the last freeware version (thanks Napiophelios).

AllChars sits in the system tray and provides a simple way of entering accents and special characters into most Windows programs. The program emulates the Unix "Compose" key and supports macros (i.e. replacing a short string with a longer piece of text).

radialM allows you to manage your machine using radial menus (also known as pie-menu) and pull-down menus. These can be invoked using a mouse button, mouse combinations (rocket gestures) or hotkeys. You can configure each command to do almost anything, from launching an application, to sending keystrokes to a running application, to invoking another command.
