I posted this in the general discussion section and they told me to post it in the programming forum.

I know this is not video related but I am getting desperate because I can't find any way/how or any program that does it, so im asking it here

I use the Mousekeys feature in the accessibility tools under the control panel to click with the keyboard for a number of reasons of which it allows me to click faster with the keyboard, I don't have to hear the load click noise that my mouse makes every single time i have to click the mouse, and it also doesn't annoy my surrounding co-workers when the office is totally silent.
Microsoft's Mousekeys features are however not so customizable. Usually the numpad 5 key is used to click and the surrounding keys are used to move the mouse. but I only need to use that one key the number 5 on the numpad to click and I don't need anything else. but it seems that you have to hit another key to then use 5 as the right mouse button. that takes away some time and is a hassle to do everytime you want to left mouse click.

So I am asking Does anyone know of a program that can do something similar to what the mousekeys feature can do, or that can allow you to click with the keyboard. thanks.

Yes! I'm so happy right now I just felt that I had to post a reply to my post.

I found it! After some other searching (through goole directories and accidently through there to find a freeware macro mouse recording program) I tried searching file forum for the nTH time again and simply typed "key mouse" in the search field and got some results and my eye just staight hit down to "Mouse Emulator", I clicked there, got the program, checked it out, went back to read the help to know what keys did what, and amanzingly Thank God it actually worked!
