JoystickCursorTool is a small utility simulating keyboard keys using a joystick. It can be used for keyboardless navigation in browsers and file managers, playing games without native joystick support, using the joystick port for electronic interfaces without needing to write a joystick driver as well as other situations where only a small subset of the keyboard is typically used.
The tool supports all programs using the standard windows functions for keyboard input. It does not always work with programs retrieving keyboard data at a lower level like DirectInput based software or the Win9x DOS box.
