Numpad Mouse: Turn Keyboard Numpad into a Mouse

A software alternative to traditional mice, Numpad Mouse lets you control your cursor with numpad keys, providing a convenient and space-saving solution for computing.

What is Numpad Mouse?

Numpad Mouse is a small utility software program that enables users to turn the number pad or numeric keypad on a standard keyboard into a mouse controller. Instead of using a traditional mouse device, Numpad Mouse allows controlling the mouse cursor and functions through the numeric keypad.

This software works by mapping mouse movements and clicks to the different keys on the numeric keypad. For example, the '8' key might move the cursor up, the '2' key moves it down, '4' moves it left, '6' moves it right, and '5' or '+' performs a mouse click. There are also keys mapped to right and left click functions.

Numpad Mouse provides an accessible and convenient alternative method of controlling the mouse for those who may have difficulty using a traditional mouse device. It can benefit users with physical disabilities or injuries that make mouse use challenging. It can also serve as a backup input option if a mouse fails or is unavailable.

As Numpad Mouse utilizes existing keyboard keys, it requires no additional hardware and can work on most standard keyboard setups across laptops and desktop computers. The software is also lightweight, portable, and easy to set up. It runs smoothly in the background once configured and mapped to the user's preferred key layout.

Overall, Numpad Mouse delivers mouse functionality without needing a peripheral through simple number pad remapping. Its accessibility and convenience make it useful for specialized needs or backup situations when standard mouse control is difficult or unavailable.
