Windows 10: I want to modify the default MouseKeys to change how the double-click function works.

I play a certain game that only allows MouseKeys, and no other macro-capable programs. One of the functions of MouseKeys is to double-click when the + plus button is pressed. I find that this double-click is really just two clicks separated by a fixed delay of roughly 25-50 milliseconds. Unfortunately, when I press the + button, the game I play only registers a single click because the two clicks are too close together. I want to increase the delay between the two clicks to around 100-150 milliseconds, or otherwise the average human value for a double-click.I realize that the answer to this

Mousekeys: any way to change "both click" to "middle click"?

Hi,

I've got nerve issues in my hands that mean that it's very painful to use a normal mouse. So I was trying to use the Accessibility Mousekeys setting to use my keyboard instead.

At work I use Linux, and Mousekeys just works. I have access to all three of left, middle and right click.

At home, I'm using Windows 10. The three click options however are left, "both left+right", and right click. There is no middle click - which I use frequently and very sorely miss!

I have two questions:

• Is there a setting somewhere where I can turn on the equivalent of "emulate middle-click with both-click" for Windows Accessibility Mousekeys? (i.e. it's not a touchpad, it's the accessibility settings that allow you to use the numberpad of ANY keyboard).
  Or is there any other way I can get a middle-click action (e.g. Something like shift+left-click is middle-click).
• Under what circumstances is "both-click" ever useful/usable? Why does Mousekeys in Windows do something that as far as I am aware of is useless instead of providing the middle-click that other OSs do?
