Hello, I have imported a Windows 7 Tablet from a Hong Kong based website... and have been looking for options to create a universal gamepad to be used for virtual input gaming.

To some extent, this has actually served very well!

However, a problem lies in the virtual d-pad. It does not allow me to drag from one arrow to another, so it creates an amount of complication because I have to remove my hand and peck a new arrow to go from one direction to another.

Any chance of an update including a virtual d-pad meant specifically to use as game direction control?

Oh wow! That's exactly what I've been looking for!

Thank you; thanks to this, Windows 7 just became better than the iPad for gaming!

No problem! I will note that the layout file I'm sharing is not the one you saw in that video, I've been tweaking it to be more "universal" so that it works with all my games.

It's got a much better design scheme now, and is infinitely more comfortable to use. Anyway, here's the file; I believe you can just save and toss this into your //Program Files/ComfortKeyboard/Keyboards/ folder, but let me know if it doesn't work out that way.

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I've been working on some skins for emulator gaming for the comfort keyboard. You can see them and download the files here:

Hey, can we get more keys that you can slide to, like what the original poster was originally requesting. I know only the arrow keys can do it right now, but Would be nice if we could get numberpad 0-9 to do it also. This way we can make our own joysticks. Please add this!!
