This software doesn't support changing the ` key on a keyboard, the key right next to the Num1 key. No matter what I do and how many restarts I conduct, it will not remap that key. Used in Win 11 pro.

Like someone else mentioned, it only recognizes the primary designation of a key. For example, the @ and " keys of my board are jumbled, so I want to reassign them. However, the app can only reassign the primary use of those keys (2 and ' respectively), and not those requiring the Shift+key sequence. So, useless to me.

So I downloaded this, hoping I could just simply remap several keys around. So I did my thing, and restarted my PC. Nothing changed. I then decided to uninstall it, because why would I want to still keep it if it doesn't even work? HOWEVER, the NEXT TIME I rebooted my PC, the key bindings decided to apply. EVEN AFTER I HAD UNINSTALLED IT. At that point, I didn't even NEED the key bindings anymore. So I had to REINSTALL THE APP, RESET THE KEY BINDINGS, THEN RESTART MY PC AGAIN. Such a disappointment.

Horrible piece of junk.
It is an old horrible piece of junk. It can only do some childish stuff. You cannot change the $ key, because the junk only understands 4. It doesn't understand SHIFT+key. It's 2009 anyway!
Pros: zero
Cons: Doesn't understand your need to change a SHIFT+key
It's antique.
Not suitable for Windows 10

Thank you so so much for quickly & easily solving my Lenovo keyboard issue!.
This program is so easy and effective. I had my Lenovo ideapad 510 keyboard issue solved in under 4 minutes! So easy to switch the pgup and the right shift. What a serious design flaw in an otherwise good computer. Thanks to this program I did not throw the computer in frustration. Thank you so so much!!!!
Pros: easy
free
Cons: nothing

It works..
How do I function without this program?
Absolutely awesome. Does what it promises: it changes one key to another. Works on Windows 7, 8.1 and 10. And on top of that, it's free. I don't know what problem people who rated this low had.

Easy to use program to design your own keyboard.
This is exactly what I wanted. I only wanted to switch out a few keys on my keyboard, and this program is simply perfect for my needs. The program is easy to use, even for a non-techie person like myself. So happy to find this.
Pros: easy to use
full functional
Cons: would like to be able to toggle back to Qwerty

Great keybard remapper. Works with Windows 10..
This is a great keyboard remapper. I am an old WORDSTAR user. I believe the <Ctrl> key never should have been moved. I have used KeyTweak for years to flip <CapsLock> and <LeftCtrl>. There many other keys on the keyboard I would never use without remapping. Combined with AutoHotkey the power of this software is unbeatable.I have never had a crash issue with this remapping. It has worked reliably with every version of Windows so far INCLUDING WINDOWS 10.

Can't do without it..
Tired of hitting Keylock by mistake? Then move it. Tired of the useless Insert key? Then disable it. Wonderful program.
Pros: Simplicity

love.
I recently bought a Lenovo U400, which I love, but the designers for some reason decided to make the delete button a bit smaller and stick the dratted home button just to the right of it. Which meant that I frequently accidentally bumped home instead of delete and ended up in a whole world of mess typing at the beginning of the line where I was trying to delete an error. Rather than throw my laptop out the window when it destroyed the umpteenth line of code that I was working on, I decided to do some digging to fix the problem. And found keytweak. which downloaded in seconds and in a few more seconds had made everything all better! their map of the keyboard in the program doesn't match my keyboard, but I just found the button that I wanted to change on their map and it still did the trick. I also played around with it a bit more and changed the completely useless page down button to automatically bring up the calculator. this is one happy computer nerd. thanks developers.
