My coworker uses an Icon7 Twister Evolution mouse pointer in his job and as a pointer in his presentations. As soon as he updated to Windows 10 he use a default mouse driver as the producer doesn't provide any. The problem is when he accidentally push one from two special buttons on the device, causing a strange behavior like blocking the keyboard or pushing shift key constantly, forcing my friend to restart the machine and ruin his presentations.
Is there a way to block those specific device keys system-wise?
Maybe there is a way to write such key blocker application somehow?
I've tried many of the applications like X-Mouse Button Control or SharpKeys but none of them work in Windows 10 properly.
I figured out the problem by using pretty much from this example.
The point is to register to a low-level hook of a keyboard/mouse and by returning non-zero pointer swallow the input.
