Auto Key Presser

Auto Key Presser is a straightforward piece of software that can automatically press keys at user's choice, as the name implies.. It works with single keys or combinations of multiple keys. In addition to simply pressing a key, it can hold it down for any number of seconds.

After a rapid and uneventful setup procedure that does not require special attention from the user, you are greeted by a small, regular window with a simple structure, where you can trigger a single key or key combination.

All you have to do is select the key to press (numbers, letters, function or special keys) and time interval (in seconds), and initialize the task with the click of a button. The commands will be sent to the last active window.

Stopping the operation requires user intervention, though. Unfortunately, there are no options implemented for stopping the macro automatically. Also, the tool cannot hide automatically to get out of your way.

Auto Key Presser had a good response time and worked well on Windows 10 in our tests. We have not come across any issues in our evaluation, since the program did not cause the operating system to hang, crash or pop up error messages. It uses low CPU and RAM, so it doesn't affect the computer's overall performance. Since it can be minimized to the system tray area, it doesn't interrupt user activity either.

On the other hand, it comes packed with a rather slim set of features, leaving no room for configuration. Macro scripts cannot be saved and exported. Nevertheless, Auto Key Presser is ideal for first-time users interested in getting to know software applications made for keyboard macros. Suffice it to say that it doesn't work with the mouse so you have to resort to another program if you want to add the mouse to your macros.
