OK, let's break this into two parts.

1. Detecting keyboard presses, joystick positions, etc.  In RB, you do 
this using the GameInputManager.  That's what it's for; it's really easy 
to use and works well.
2. Fooling the OS into thinking these are keystrokes or mouse movements, 
even in other apps.  That's going to be much harder.  Haven't a clue how 
you would tackle that.
Best,
