Use as a desktop mouse for Windows 10 #37

Open Sitzstreiker opened 1 year ago

Sitzstreiker commented 1 year ago

Hello, is it possible to configure the project as a desktop mouse for Windows 10/11?

Due to my disability, I would have a lot more options to use the computer independently on the go, but unfortunately it doesn't work for me at the moment for the normal Windows interface.

Greetings Mario

Hi Mario It should work as a mouse. I wonder if you are having the same bug as noted here: https://github.com/google/project-gameface/issues/5

that sound familiar?

hello I had already tried everything from the article but somehow I didn't get to the goal. It doesn't work for me on my notebook or on my normal desktop PC. I have the feeling that I'm too stupid to do this, but of course I have a few problems with the language barrier because I can only use the online translator. :-(

I'm in the same boat. The mouse control doesn't work on my laptop. The bindings and facial recognition work beautifully, though.

Hi everyone. I was able to reproduce this issue on my personal machine (Lenovo Ideapad E14 2gen w/ Win11): When I run GameFace from the release package, the mouse control does not work. However, if I close the app and open it again, mouse control works as expected.

I tried to reproduce it at work (Lenovo X1 Carbon w/ Win11) but could not, until I update to the latest Window update.

This workaround works, but if the device is rebooted or turned off and on, you will have to close and open the app again. I will try to debug the root cause, and keep this thread posted.

@eariassoto @euu2021 see https://github.com/google/project-gameface/issues/5#issuecomment-1571609550 - see if that pyautogui code causes the same problem

I updated Windows to the latest version, and restarted the laptop. Then I opened the app, and still nothing happened. Then I closed the app and opened it again, as described by earissoto, and it started working, for the first time.

see if that pyautogui code causes the same problem

I tried it before updating and restarting, and I could see the mouse cursor moving.

Thanks!
