How to remap device inputs?

[SquareCarousel]

I've been trying to use an old mouse to create an new device. Is there a way I can edit the driver or use a program to assign it a new input, like making both clicks register as 'up' keys? Button remapping software hasn't helped so far because you can't select individual mice, only set global remaps to all mice. Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Don't think its possible using normal software unless the mouse itself has rebind able software/hardware built in - as it will still be sending the input to the computer as a mouse gesture, and you cannot use 2 mice on the same PC

 

But maybe somebody knows some wacky solution

Autohotkey should be able to do that for you. Programming-wise it sits on the software-layer and uses 'hooks' to dip below. If some other program uses similar method to get inputs too, before Autohotkey kicks in, Autohotkey won't be able to counter. That may cause issues, most likely only with that particular other program, mind you. But the way around that is to mess with Windows registry directly. Here's some info on that. I believe, these are all global changes. So you can't have one 'normal mouse' and one 'keyboard mouse'.

Can I not edit the registry of the second mouse? As in, is there a way to tell the computer that the mouse is not a mouse when you plug it in?

After some digging it looks like the simplest way to do what I want is to make a custom driver for the mouse. Thanks for the ideas
