A crazy keyboard question... BEWARE!

Ok, so here's the deal. I want to make it so I can pulse a specific key on my keyboard, say the letter t, every set number of n seconds. Now I can set up a pretty simple mechanical design using a 555 timer, small weight, and electromagnet circuit to automate the project, but is there a way to make the system, or keyboard even, think that a specific button is being pressed in a repeated fashion?

Originally, I had thought maybe a simple script could pulse the bus and trick the system, making Windows accept that every n seconds the key is being pressed, but I can't find anything about it anywhere.

Moreover just a home project, thought it would be useful for automating simple run-time testing...

I don't have an answer but I admire the hell out of the problem... Have you tried the "Highly Technical" forum? There may be someone in there who can help you build a box to replicate a key press every n seconds.
