About Rapid Key
Ten a second and ten an hour are the same two words and completely different jobs. This one takes the rate in whichever unit you already think in, and never asks you to convert it into milliseconds first.
A number and a Word
How many presses, in every second, minute or hour. The window then spells out what that comes to — one press every six seconds — so the setting is never a number you have to trust.
Built for a long run
An hourly rate is bought for jobs measured in hours. It sits in the tray while it works, starts with Windows if you want it to, and the shortcut still stops it six hours later from whatever window you happen to be in.
Games see it
Every press is sent as a scancode with the extended-key flag set where it belongs, which is what DirectInput and Raw Input actually read. A presser built on virtual keys is invisible to most games — this one is not, and arrows and the numpad land where they should. Games that run kernel-level anti-cheat reject simulated input of any kind, and no auto presser gets past that one.
Point first
It waits a few seconds before the first press, which is enough to click into the window the presses should go to.
Written to be translated
Every label is its own string rather than a sentence assembled out of fragments, so the window reads the way it should in languages that do not put the words in English order.
It works fully offline and needs no account. No ads, and nothing held back behind an unlock. An optional EvlarSoft ONE sign-in backs up your settings to carry them to another PC, and feedback is sent only when you press Send.
Built for Windows 11, and at home on Windows 10.
