Turning your keyboard into a mouse

If your mouse is not working and you don't wish to wait till you get a new one, you would definitely like to know how you can use your keyboard to control the mouse pointer. It is easy to use your mouse to input text using the On Screen Keyboard utility, but it is also possible to do the reverse. This article explains how.

1) Open Ease of Access Center by clicking the Start button , going to Control Panel, clicking Ease of Access, and then clicking Ease of Access Center.

2) Click Make the mouse easier to use.

3) Under Control the mouse with the keyboard, tick the Turn on Mouse Keys check box.

GeForce GTX 1660 and 1650 rumored to arrive in March and April starting at $179

More midrange Turing cards could be on the horizon ..

Now that Nvidia has popped the cork on a cheaper version of Turing that lacks RT and Tensor cores, the question is, will the company bolster its non-RTX lineup with more models? We don't have a definitive answer, but rumors of two new parts—GeForce GTX 1660 and 1650—are starting to pour in.

We've seen these models show up in leaks before, though now that the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is official (and is one of the best graphics cards on a sub-$300 budget), there is a bit more credibility to the rumors. Just as we saw marketing materials for the GTX 1660 Ti pop up before its release, Andreas Schilling from Hardwareluxx has posted what he claims is the first batch of marketing images for the GTX 1660 and 1650.

Also  Digitimes has passed along some information it purportedly obtained from "industry sources." According to those sources, the GTX 1660 will launch on March 15 starting at $229, followed by the GTX 1650 launching on April 30 starting at $179.

Depending on how performance breaks down, those prices would put added pressure to AMD's Radeon RX 570, 580, and 590 cards, and of course there is still the GTX 1660 Ti and RTX 2060 to contend with at higher price points.

As it relates to graphics hardware, the midrange and low-end are where most gamers mingle. We see this represented in Steam's monthly hardware and software report. As of January 2019, the combined usage of RTX 2080 Ti, 2080, and 2070 is a fraction of a percent, whereas most gamers run a GTX 1060, followed by a GTX 1050 Ti and 1050.

We can only guess at the specs of the upcoming cards, assuming they exist. Schilling surmises the GTX 1660 will use a cut down version of the TU116 GPU found in the GTX 1660 Ti, also with 6GB of memory. The GTX 1650, meanwhile, could wield 4GB of slower and cheaper GDDR5 memory, on a narrower memory bus.

It's all speculation at this point, though we'd be surprised if the GTX 1660 Ti ended up being the only GTX Turing card when all is said and done.

It sure looks like Microsoft is testing Xbox One game support on Windows 10 PCs

Some interesting things are happening in Microsoft's Windows Insider program.

           

   

Game consoles have become more PC-like than ever, and that is especially true of the latest generation Xbox One. That doesn't mean you can play Xbox One games on your Windows system. Not yet, anyway. However, there is evidence to suggest that Microsoft is working towards that goal.

That evidence is found within Microsoft's Windows Insider program, in which participants are able to preview and test upcoming upgrades to Windows 10 before they are pushed out to the general populace. Recently, Microsoft has been asking Insiders to install and test of special edition of State of Decay, which it has made available for free.

"We’re excited to bring technology tailor-made for gaming to Windows. Help us validate these systems work as expected, and play State of Decay for free (limited time only!). Just tell us about any problems you encounter with installing and launching the game," Microsoft explained in a blog post.

That in and of itself is a hint that something is brewing, but digging deeper, there are some interesting tidbits that go along with it, as Brad Sams outlines on Thurrott.com. For example, the game does not download from the Microsoft Store server (serverdl.microsoft.com), and instead comes from assets1.xboxlive.com. Hmm.

It appears that Microsoft is pushing out the Xbox One version and not a PC port. Further evidence of this can be found in the .xvc file format the game uses. Microsoft introduced the .xvc file format in 2013 specifically for Xbox One games, and in this case, it can be installed using the updated PowerShell application in the Windows 10 19H1 test build.

Installing the game brings up a legacy DirectX setup prompt. The latest test build also installs a new Gaming Service app, Microsoft.GamingServices.app, with two accompanying drivers—xvdd.sys = XVD Disk Driver (Microsoft Gaming Filesystem Driver) and gameflt.sys = Gaming Filter (Microsoft Gaming Install Filter Driver).

Need further proof? Twitter user WalkingCat notes that the drivers contain references to Durango, which was the codename for the Xbox One.

What this ultimately means is that the next big update to Windows 10 could potentially introduce native support for Xbox One games. This could make it faster and easier for developers to push their console games to PC, though hopefully it doesn't lead to lazy experiences that fail to take advantage of what PCs can offer.
