I currently have this in development. A way to make any mouse a gaming mouse (with macros) that will work on any device that supports USB mice.

You could tottaly do that. Pretty darn easy.. but all in all we would need to know what Buttons you wish to emulate from the macro.
Then complie the script to an exe file that could then be run from a flash drive on any machine you want to have this "Gaming Mouse" to work for.
I did make a script like this at home when I first got Diablo 3.. my Five Button mouse didnt cut it.. needed 7 buttons.. so mapped MouseButton3 & 4 that when Left Shift was held down those buttons on the mouse did other actions than if the shift was not held. in this case MouseButton3 does #1 on the keyboard, with the shift down it does #3.. MouseButton4 without shift does #2 with shift it does #4
what #s or Keys do you want to do? or would you like a GUI Box that will open when first run Asking what the Shift+MB3 would do ect?

You misunderstand. The middle computer will have a USB cable that can plug into anything (a ps3 for example) and it will be recognized as a USB mouse. The computer will allow macros and complex mouse functions on devices that you can't install software on.
So in the end... it'll allow me to map 180 degree turns on ps3 FPS shooters if I want.... or use a PC racing wheel on the ps3 etc etc.
The possibilities of this are endless!

wow that is quite a porject you got there then. sorry from the pic i was mis led,, but yeah sending Key Strokes from a Mouse/Wheel or whatnot plugged into a PC, then have those keys sent through a USB to USB cable that then plugs into another system and then that system thinks it isnt a USB cable but a Mouse or whatnot being plugged in.. hmm.. but your mouse and wheel are still connected to your PC.. (hope it is close to your PS3 TV hehehe)You misunderstand. The middle computer will have a USB cable that can plug into anything (a ps3 for example) and it will be recognized as a USB mouse.

I'm likely going to use a dedicated laptop for this. Not much of a stretch since I already have my ps3 decked out with a Solid State hard drive.

USB doesn't quite work that way. You will need some electronics in between the PC and USB emulated target. USB has a strict host/device relationship. USB OTG can do some bidirectional stuff, but it's for file transfer and I don't think it can emulate USB HID
Certainly possible, but it's not just a cable in between

Ya that's the hardware that's being made. That picture was made assuming it was obvious.

I re-read this and understand better. I moved your topic to Offtopic, since it's not an existing tutorial or completed script. Once you have a working prototype, be sure to make a video and share it back on the forum

Idea:
A Arduino Leonardo can accept serial communication (rs232) and respond with usb key strokes or mouse moves on the computer into which it is plugged. http://arduino.cc/en...noBoardLeonardo
