HID keyboard button press and release

[adammhaile]

I'm trying to use the DigiKeyboard library to mimic a HID keyboard and I found how to send keys and how to release ALL of them, by calling usbSetInterrupt() with 0 for the key value, but is there a way to release one key and not another. I'm using this for a game controller so, for example, I'm holding down the button that corresponds to Left-Arrow and press and release the A button. I want it to register as:


 - Left Arrow Press
 - A Press
 - A Release
 - Left Arrow Release


But all I can do now is basically momentary presses on each. Each time I press a button down it registers as press AND release on the computer. Is there a way to call usbSetInterrupt() or something else telling it that only one of the previously pressed keys has now been released?

I'm downloading the new library version to see what to do about it, but in the mean time, if this is for a game controller, why not use the joystick library?

Hello, this subject is also of interest to me. I have a project with I intend to create a game control with buttons only, but I can not. But I can not make a scketch that the computer recognizes as a game controller a Digispark. My progress was only using an Arduino Leonardo, I made the PC recognize as a keyboard, determining some buttons for the buttons. But I need help. I'm not getting libraries to make a Digispark work like a keyboard.
