You don’t need a driver for this. Microsoft has tools to help with
this; Google for MouseKeys.
For 8 hours a day, I use a Cirque ergonomic keyboard with a built-in
trackpad. (I love trackpads.) It has a custom key that turns on
MouseKeys (by sending left-Alt, left-Ctrl, and NumLock at once). After
it is turned on, the numeric keypad controls the mouse. All of that is
done with nothing other than standard Microsoft code.

Easy way: shuttle the scan codes to user mode and have an app call
SendInput()
Hard way: enumerate a virtual mouse where your driver is the mouse port
driver under mouclass. You move the scan codes from your keyboard
filter device object to your mouse port device object.
I would go with the UM app, it’s simpler.

You cut off the end of the sentence: “…have an app call
SendInput().” What Doron is describing is exactly what MouseKeys does.
He’s talking about having a user-mode application that either talks
directly to the driver, or monitor keystrokes using SetWindowsHook, and
converts your magic keystrokes to mouse movement using SendInput.

If you are using KMDF, look at the kbfiltr KMDF sample to see how to
create a raw PDO that your application can talk to. If you are using
WDM, you should create a control device object for your application to
talk to. The app always has an IOCTL pending in the PDO/control device.
you complete the IOCTL with scancode data when you get it.
You only need to do this if you want to map only your keyboard to a
mouse. If you want to map all keyboards to a mouse pointer, then you
can do this in UM exclusively with a low level keyboard hook and
SendInput().

Keyboard drivers are kernel components. SendInput() is a user-mode
Win32 API. The worlds do not overlap.

The same driver can be a filter (or port) in both the keyboard and mouse
stacks, the i8042prt driver does this. you create a device object for
each stack and you know which stack you are in based on the CONNECT
IOCTL which comes into the driver.
