Mouse, keyboard. You may also want to look into "hotkeys" and associated pacakges in the repos.

Hey Thanks for that

The mouse tut just went straight over my head and none of my changes seemed to do anything at all perhaps I should switch the mouse from PS2 will do that when I free up a slot.

When I try to configure the keyboard it seems to find a lot of the extra buttons, but when I save it says:

"The keyboard file has been saved successfully, but cannot yet be imported in keyTouch because it is not a valid keyboard file.
The keyboard file contains an empty keycode."

however where those empty keycodes are it wont let me enter one... although it does detect the keys when I press them to enter stuff... any ideas?
