: Even after the 14-day software trial expires, the underlying virtual drivers remain permanently installed and operational on your system.
To reliably emulate a keyboard, mouse, or joystick, you need to create a virtual device that sits inside Device Manager. Windows treats this driver exactly like a physical USB keyboard. The Tetherscript Virtual HID Driver Kit provides the framework to do this without writing complex kernel-mode code from scratch.
To the computer, a Tetherscript command is indistinguishable from a physical finger pressing a key. It bypasses the high-level API restrictions that often cripple automation software, allowing for seamless interaction with high-security applications, full-screen games, and complex Citrix environments.
Does your firmware rely on HID reports? Instead of plugging and unplugging devices thousands of times in your test pipeline, spin up a virtual device. You can test error handling, report descriptors, and latency without ever touching a USB port.
The stands out as one of the most powerful Windows Software Development Kits (SDKs) ever built for software-defined peripheral emulation. It allowed developers to bypass physical hardware by creating fully compliant, Tetherscript-signed virtual keyboards, mice, joysticks, and gamepads directly inside Windows 64-bit environments.
The Tetherscript Virtual HID Driver Kit was arguably one of the best tools for virtual input in the early 2020s, offering robust, low-level control. While it has been officially discontinued and is challenging to implement on modern, secure Windows environments, its legacy continues through open-source archives.
Many alternative libraries only support simple mouse clicks or basic keyboard keystrokes. Tetherscript provides a true multi-device HID simulation framework. With it, you can emulate:
: Building bespoke remote-access tools where the remote mouse and keyboard must behave exactly like local hardware.
Documentation includes extensive code samples for common scenarios: automated UI testing, macro recorders, and even simulating a touchscreen in a kiosk environment. This thoughtful API design transforms a complex kernel project into a manageable library reference.
Enter —a tool that feels like magic but is actually just brilliant engineering.
Supports virtual keyboards, joysticks, mice (absolute and relative), and gamepads. Ease of Use:
Because it operates at the kernel/driver level, it can often bypass software-level anti-cheat or restrictions that block standard "SendInput" commands. SDK Support:
Supports both absolute and relative positioning.
: Designed for 64-bit versions of Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10. It does not work on 32-bit systems.
: Since it is discontinued, Tetherscript no longer offers formal commercial support, though their knowledge base and community forums remain available.
There is no longer a standalone driver download available from the official site. Existing Customers:
