    Keyboard Shortcuts in SkyTrak PC version??

    Are there any Keyboard Shortcuts in the Skytrak V2.2 version for PC?? Seems like it's essentially designed for ipad use, and relies on the mouse exclusively.

        D'Oh!... I'm an idiot. Not familiar with any shortcuts on the Skytrak software itself.

            On that note some of the biggest bang for the buck for me in the simulator build was the 40 bucks I spent on a wireless keyboard and mouse. Can leave laptop off to the side and just need keyboard and mouse nearby (and keyboard only for TGC)

              Very fair question. See below

                I'm actually working on a push button/keyboard hack to take the small board out of an old usb keyboard and connect wires and push button switches to make a custom controller.

                Photo of the board is attached - all you need to do is connect the proper combinations and the key will be sent.

                It would stand next to my skytrack and offer illuminated buttons for aiming, club selection, advance, scout camera, overview, pause, menu etc.

                While I was at it, I thought it would be cool to add any key shortcuts for SkyTrak that could: delete last shot, replay challenges, etc without going over to the mouse/pc.

                My 12 year old is a bit of a hacker/maker - great project for the two of us!

                We may even use a small four-way rocker/joystick for fun - and replace the handle with a golf ball.

                  That's awesome, wish I knew how to do stuff like this (and too lazy to learn I guess haha), id be all over it

                    You can also just get one of these six button keyboards for a pretty cool solution to some of the tasks.

                    Or google Air mouse, could be another option. Mele, Logitech etc.
                    Or voice activated commands! Windows 7,8,8.1 and 10 have speech recognition built in.

                    Lots of options! My goal is to make it simple with 6 or 8 keys that are easy to find/press in low light - especially the "advance" and "aim" functions. I have a hard time finding the keys on the keyboard after staring at the screen. I've actually put foil tape on the TGC relevant keys to make them easy to find.

                  Voice command would be real interesting, wonder how well it would work, if someone tries it I'd be curious to know. I like that 6 button keyboard you posted but I'm also leaning toward trying to make a foot pedal button if I can for mulligans while practicing and maybe some other quick commands. I'm loving the keyboard by mike80 and would be cool if I could have a few foot pedals to add to it as well. Definitely not totalally needed or necessary but what in our golf would really is? Haha

                    I’m also making a controller for my simulator and I found this on the skytrack game. I hope it’s helpful
