Can I somehow control..say a program or a game on my pc from a button on the arduino, (directly or through processing or whatever)
Im trying to make H shifter for a game.

Im trying to make H shifter for a game.
I have a feeling the answer is very likely to be Yes, but can we all have a little bit more detail please, what you`re asking is vague to say the very least.
but off the top of my head, I will say that if you can Already control yout game from the arduino, then it`s a relatively trivial task to control the arduino From the PC.
serial port using a terminal emulator?, direct parallel port manipulation?, even more exotic things like blue-tooth or xbee or ethernet and yes... even a GSM cell phone

I have no idea how to do these 
, right now i have a h shifter with two pots acting as axes, and i have a code thats sending 1 , 2,3,4,5,6 over serial (for the diferent gears)
i tried to use transistors and a hacked keyboard -the transistor acting like a button ,but im having some issues with that too..
