Caps Lock has been in the best position on the keyboard since the 1980s and almost nobody uses it for what it says. ## Change what a key does Pick a key by pressing it, then say what it should send instead. From that moment every application on the PC gets the new one — the browser, the editor, the game, the sign-in box. ## A whole shortcut, not just a key Hold Ctrl, Shift or Alt while you choose, and the key sends that combination from then on. One key for Ctrl+C. One key for Alt+F4. The modifiers go down in order and come back up in reverse, so what arrives is a real shortcut rather than letters that happened to be near one. ## Or nothing at all Some keys are only in the way. Insert, Caps Lock, the one your palm finds mid-sentence. Set a key to do nothing and it stops working until you switch the app off — nothing is disabled at the driver level and nothing needs a reboot to undo. ## See it on a keyboard Every rule is drawn on a keyboard: the key you press, what it sends, and every other rule you have made, on one board. A list of names never showed you that two rules were fighting over the same key. ## Games see it Keys are sent as scancodes with the extended-key flag set where it belongs, which is what DirectInput and Raw Input actually read. A remapper built on virtual keys is invisible to most games. Games running kernel-level anti-cheat reject simulated input of any kind, and no remapper gets past that one. ## Always a way back Press Escape five times and every key goes back to being itself, from any window, however thoroughly you have remapped the board. It works even when Escape is one of the keys you mapped. Nothing here can hold a key it did not let go of. ## Upgrading Mappings from the previous version are carried across the first time it opens. No account. No sign-in. No ads, and nothing held back behind an unlock. Built for Windows 11, and at home on Windows 10. ## Features - Turn any key into any other key, everywhere in Windows - Or into a whole shortcut — Ctrl+C, Alt+F4, Ctrl+Shift+S - Or into nothing at all, for a key you keep hitting by accident - Press the key to choose it, instead of hunting for its name in a list - Every key on the board, including the punctuation keys and the media keys - Keys are sent as scancodes, so games and emulators see them - See a rule drawn on a keyboard before you commit to it - Keep the original as well, so one key does two jobs - Escape five times switches everything off, from any window - A shortcut of your own that switches mapping on and off - Sits in the tray and stays out of the way while it works - No account, no ads, and nothing that leaves your PC ## Details Works on Windows 10 (1809 or later) and Windows 11 Download About 2.3 MB Version 2.1.2, updated October 2026 First released April 2023 Price One-time purchase.
