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.

Hi - this reminded me of the latest Ben Heck episode where he uses an Arduino in a game controller system. At one point, he shows an application on his computer displaying the button presses sent from the Arduino:

You might also want to look at Processing which is a very common method folks use to control PC applications via an Arduino:
