Maybe a key is broken on your keyboard or you want the keys to function differently than it is intended then you have to remap the keyboard. This post will show you how to solve the problem of broken key or swapping the keys with the help of a tiny utility known as ‘KeyTweak’. This method works on every version of Windows.

In my keyboard ‘Delete’ key is broken so I am going to remap it to ‘Insert’ key. You can follow the same procedure for remapping other keys as well.

Steps:

1. Download and install KeyTweak.zip

2. If you are on 64-bit Windows then goto following location and open KeyTweak.exe

    C:\Program Files (x86)\KeyTweak
   

   If you are using 32-bit Windows then goto following location and open KeyTweak.exe

    C:\Program Files\KeyTweak
   

3. Press the key you want to remap or click the number in KeyTweak window (helpful if key is broken). You don’t need to be confused with the numbers because you can see which key is selected after you click on the its respective number.

   

4. Click on ‘Choose New Remapping’ dropdown button and choose the new action you want to assign for the selected key then click on ‘Remap Key’

   

5. Finally click on ‘Apply’and restart the computer.
