Try google search for "evrouter". Never tried it myself but I've heard 
that it may work.

In windows doesn't the device come with a utility to send commands to 
certain windows? If not, google for "total game control", it's mainly 
for using joysticks with games that don't support certain joysticks, but 
says "Works with other applications, not just games." It allows 
unlimited usage but doesn't allow you to save your key configurations 
unless you purchase the full version.

HTH,
