Wireless USB Presenter

I have a USB Wireless Presenter (one that you use for powerpoint presentations) and I am trying to use it for getting splits at the finish. I do not want to hit split each time a runner crosses the finish line. Is there a special way to get this connected to RaceTab?

I like the idea, but I don't think it will work out of the box. I think the wireless presenters emulate the left and right arrow keys. But RaceTab is looking for a spacebar press instead. It would an easy update to RaceTab to support either, but man I haven't even fired up my Windows computer in a long time to update RaceTab! Will see if I can dust off that laptop sometime and remember to do that update.

Don Passenger had a USB "plunger" button that he used for this purpose and that worked.
