Playing games via mouse over USB? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well, the touchscreen on my Lifepad S9314 is coming to an end. Via YATT (yet another touch tester app) i recognize there a a lot of spots where my 1-tap gesture/point will trigger 2-3 "ghost" taps on the same horizontal but on the other side of the screen. (which causes a multi-touch-gesture being recognized, which causes most inputs not doing what i intend to do. (Typing, Games).
Well i already ordered a new Lifepad (which is coming soon) but in the meantime i'm stuck with this one. Most of the time i have no problems, but sometimes the "ghost"-taps keep coming every time - very annoying. Anyway I just thought "why not plug a USB mouse in and play via mouse?" and it worked. (via package/stock USB-OTG-Cable).
I tried it out and it worked. Now i have a small mouse cursor on my tablet and can play around with a mouse. I can play games, but one point is still "missing":
how can i "emulate" a 2-finger tap (so a gesture where i touch the screen in 2 places, like for a blocking-sequence in a game)? Because every mouse button i press (left middle or right results in a single tap. I "could" just touch the screen with 2 fingers at events when needed, but as my mouse has more than 1 button, isn't there something like a "makro" wich for example tells the tablet, that right click results in that 2-finger-gesture? Or else like using mouse wheel for progressive/repetitive/fast/action tapping?

Multi Touch Issue

I'm been messing around with my tablet and the multi touch apps that show the points that your tablet recognizes when you touch the screen. I found out that if i hold my finger on the bottom row of my tablet and then try and press with my right hand thumb on the same bottom row of the tablet the screen does not recognize my right thumb. Can others try the same thing and verify that this is an issue with the everyones touch screen and not just mine. If you play games like pewpew, minisquadron or samurai vengeance II, you may notice this issue where you can't use the virtual joysticks at the same time. Or they are not responsive. Can others give this a test and let me know if your tablet lets you hold your finger on the tablet and then press your other thumb on the same horizontal row.
I just tried this and with the power cord plugged in the touchscreen works Flawlessly but without I get the issue reported above.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I've tried the Calibration app and that does nothing.

Video shows what i'm talking about.
i have played samurai vengance, dungeon defenders and zenonia and all of them work correctly. have you checked this in other roms?
I'm thinking it is just vegan 5.1.1 i didn't seem to have this issue with Calkulins rom. What rom are you running?
I have noticed that Gun Bros has a problem with the two dpads, but it does not seem to happen in the multi-touch app. Strange

Odd, i think it is a rom issue. Gonna try another rom but I'm not sure which one. Frustrating.
I want good HD video playback without this multi touch issue.
I have not noticed this but if you have "Spare Parts" or "Developer Tools" there is a cool app in there that just shows where you touch and tracks it. If you touch 2 spots it shows that too. Open up Dev Tools and find Pointer Location. Impress your friends if nothing else.

Need help with remote key emulation (Cool Reader/Muku Shuttr)

I use Cool Reader every day on my Nexus 7 to read while at work. I like to recline back in my chair and read but then have to constantly lean forward to touch the screen and turn the page.
Then I heard about Muku Shuttr on Kickstarter and figured I might be able to use it as a remote control page turning device. It pairs with the tablet using Bluetooth and it's single button emulates a VOLUME + button press.
Despite setting the VOL+ to the NEXT PAGE action in Cool Reader's options, it doesn't work. Cool Reader is sensing the input somehow, because when I press the button it immediately switches to a black screen with DOCUMENT LOADING displayed and then returns back to the page I was on. If I press it 2 or 3 times, it will freeze on the DOCUMENT LOADING screen requiring an app restart.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions of how I can get this to work?
If no one has any ideas, can anyone at least point me at a better place to ask?
No one?????????
Problem solved. Developer of Shuttr suggested I switch the device into iOS mode, which works perfectly!

[Q]touch screen sometimes doesn't respond

i think it only happens when im playing games.
the touch screen sometimes doesn't respond when i touch it. i need to re touch it again to work. i noticed that it happens when im touching the both half of the screen (left and right) at the same time.
For example when im playing GTA san andreas in my S3.
when im pressing the buttons (on the right side) and then i press the analog virtual stick on the left side, sometimes touching the left side (analog virtual stick to move the character) doesn't work or respond if at the same time im pressing the buttons on the right side of the screen.
anyone who also experience this?. i thought flashingv it with an updated stock rom will fix the issue but it is not (from MK7 to NA7 4.3).

[Q] Apple trackpad: mismatch between screen pointer and actual touching point

Recently I bought Samsung HomeSync (a TV media player) with Android 4.2.2 on board, it does not have a screen or touchpad, and I connected an Apple magic trackpad to it via bluetooth. Everything seems to work (clicking, tapping, multi-touch etc) except one annoying thing: the pointer on the screen is not at the same position as the actual touching point. When I tap on the trackpad, a circle appeared on the screen at a different position than the pointer, the shift between these two points is always the same. Unfortunately, I did not find anything in the settings to correct this mismatch, maybe it can be adjusted in the config files? The device is rooted.

how to play asphalt 8

How to play asphalt 8 with keyboard??? I tried with gamepad it doesn't support all the keys only left right working .. Someone help me
It should say keyboard detected and show you the guide when you launch it. Arrows/wasd for movement, space for nitro, left ctrl for brake or drift(ctrl+ left/right button). Careful not to touch the touchpad, sometimes it goes crazy and the car goes around in circles and stop responding to keyboard, restarting the race will fix it. Also the cars/3d stuff only seem to show up in very high graphics settings, there's some kind of graphic glitch on my laptop, driver issue probably.

Keyboard detected is not showing but if i connect gamepad its showing gamepad detected.... Do i need to connect external keyboard? Or internal works for you?
My laptop's keyboard does work without issues, I didn't plug in external ketboard. Did you try just pressing the keys does the car respond? You could try google to see where the controls are mapped by default on a gamepad.
