Step 1:

Are some of your keys missing?

Are some broken?

Maybe you have a MIC keyboard without the windows button?

What happens if you don't have a mouse?


Then how on Earth are you ever going to press the start button!??

...unless you don't have a windows key. ...which is the whole point of this instructable.

Why wouldn't you have a mouse!?
wezdog1 (author) in reply to lobo_palFeb 2, 2009. 10:27 PM
Dude who uses mice these days, get to the future bro (:P
lobo_pal in reply to wezdog1Feb 3, 2009. 2:11 PM
Mouse, singular. If you're using two mice at once, than you're skilled.
The nerdling in reply to lobo_palApr 6, 2011. 5:03 PM
my school lappy has 2 mice/mouses whatever it is, and i use both of them...it's easy!!!
The nerdling in reply to The nerdlingApr 6, 2011. 5:06 PM

I have done that lol you can plug two into the one computer at a time, but they both control the same cursor.
lobo_pal in reply to cornflakerMar 4, 2009. 5:46 AM
Really?
fwjs28 in reply to lobo_palMar 4, 2009. 12:54 PM
yes its actually quite the funny prank....lol...you need a usb and a ps/2
cornflaker in reply to fwjs28Mar 17, 2009. 5:18 AM
2 USB's works too, and it can indeed be quite funny lol I was controlling a friends comp in class while we were playing Halo (teacher was away) and making him shoot team mates and stuff and he just though it was lag till i told him at the end haha

For April Fools,I am going to replace my mom's new mouse at work with her old one that I gutted and glued the scroll wheel in.She probably will think her mouse is broken!
fwjs28 in reply to DerinJul 21, 2009. 10:49 AM
good idea...
Derin in reply to fwjs28Jul 22, 2009. 12:32 AM
She actually saw it's construction,so I depend on the fact that she will forget.
wezdog1 (author) in reply to DerinAug 10, 2009. 5:43 AM
Tell us if it works :)
Derin in reply to wezdog1Aug 10, 2009. 7:30 AM
ok
fwjs28 in reply to DerinJul 22, 2009. 9:31 AM
mhm...usually a good whack over the head will make them forget the past week possibly month :)

wezdog1 (author) in reply to fwjs28Mar 17, 2009. 2:43 AM
what if you blew your USB ports because of your cheap Made in China camera and you have a decent computer with no old tech like ps2 ports??
wezdog1 (author) in reply to wezdog1Mar 17, 2009. 2:43 AM
Besides, I bet you didn't no what control escape did before you read this??? hey say no more say no more
cornflaker in reply to wezdog1Mar 17, 2009. 5:19 AM

lobo_pal in reply to fwjs28Mar 4, 2009. 3:40 PM
What about a wireless mouse?
wezdog1 (author) in reply to lobo_palJun 3, 2009. 11:16 PM
Got one of dose. Takes a while to install drivers on first use though:)
fwjs28 in reply to wezdog1Jun 4, 2009. 1:06 PM
