Linux – Mouse Button and Keypress Counter

If you're experiencing mouse lockups or failures, it may be because your computer is automatically turning off the power to a USB Root Hub.

1. Go to your Control Panel > System > Hardware tab > and click on the "Device Manager" button.

2. In the Device Manager window, find the item or items labeled "Universal Serial Bus controllers." Open it, and double-click the first item called "USB Root Hub."

3. In the USB Root Hub Properties dialog, click on the "Power Management" tab.

4. "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" is checked by default. Uncheck this box, and click "OK."

If this does not work, do the same for the USB Input Device - uncheck the box "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power. (this worked for me) and stopped the annoying way the mouse would go in and out.

I think this is what you want:

Gabe's TypOmeter

From the site:

"Display system information!"

EditByBSEditor: 1.Mouse Click counter The Mouse Click counter shows the number of mouse clicks you have performed since you started the TypOmeter.

2.Speedometer The Speedometer shows the speed you are typing with. The speed is measured in keystrokes pr minute. The range of the speedometer is from zero to 900 keystrokes pr minute. The speedometer scale has indicators for every 150 keystrokes pr minute.

3.Max Speed indicator The Max Speed indicator shows the the maximum speed you have typed with the last ten seconds. It uses the same scale as the Speedometer. If you concentrate on the typing a while, you can watch this indicator afterwards to check how fast you typed the last couple of sentences.

4.Over All Total counter (x1000) The Over All Total counter shows number of thousands keypress and MouseClicks you have performed ever. (At least as long as you have used the TypOmeter...)

5.Key Press counter The Key Press counter shows the number of keypresses you have performed since you started the TypOmeter.

6.Word Counter The Word Counter shows you how many words you have typed. This feature works best while writing prosa, i.e. like writing a Word-document. Please also see the the Word pr minute indicator.

7.Max Speed Reached indicator This inidcator will get red if your typing speed exeeds 900 keystrokes pr minute, which is the limit of the TypOmeter.

8. Bad Key indicator The red area shows the amount of Backspace and Delete Key-hits you have performed today, in percent of total keypresses. The red area should of course be as small as possible.
