Using a gamepad to trigger hotkeys

Hello,
Hope eveyone's doing fine :)

I would like to know if it's possible to to trigger hotkeys from a gamepad with Hotkeynet or any other.
Essentially, I'm running multiple instances of of an Atari ST emulator, Steem SSE, the plan is to have a gamepad sitting next to my keyboard that would be used to switch between active windows and most importantly, to occasionally send a couple of commands simultaneously, at the same precise time, to all instances of the active and not active windows.
I have tried Autohotkey, which works flawlessly for say "notepad.exe" but it will not work for the application I want to use it with. It seems to me that Autohotkeys "controlsend" command messes up with something and the application will not detect any incoming hotkey.

Thanks in advance for any help.

There are several solutions, all kinds of gamepads, but all of them had built in the feature that when you pressed and held a button down, it spammed the hotkey. Since that isnt allowed in wow, it couldnt be used. I couldnt find any way to disable it. I even asked the ones that had wrote the software.

Thanks for your reply, if it doesn't work, I appreciate it :)

Oh it definitely works (many gaming keyboards also have the same feature), but its wise to stay away, as the risk of getting banned for "botting" is extremely high. If you planned to use it for WoW.

But who knows, maybe the upcoming and new xbox and playstation will provide available pc software, thats safe to use, for their wired/bluetooth controllers.
