Everything you need to remap your keyboard
Remap any key to any other
Turn A into B or Caps Lock into Esc. Pick any key on the keyboard and give it a new job.
Disable keys completely
Switch off Caps Lock or the Windows key so you stop hitting them by accident, even in the middle of a game.

FAQ
Is Custom Keyboard really free?
Yes. Remapping and disabling keys, the visual keyboard, tray mode, the panic key and profile export are free. Pro is an optional one-time purchase of 4.99 USD, not a subscription.
Is this key remapper safe? Does it log my keystrokes?
It uses a keyboard hook only to remap keys on your PC. Nothing you type is stored, sent or shared. There are no ads, accounts or analytics. Settings stay in a local folder.
How do I remap Caps Lock to Esc on Windows?
Open the app, click Caps Lock on the visual keyboard, choose Esc as its new function, and you're done. The remap stays on after restarts because the app starts with Windows.
Can I disable the Windows key while gaming?
Yes. Click the Windows key and set it to disabled. It's part of the free version. You can turn all remapping off at any time with Ctrl+Alt+F12.
Does it work in games with anti-cheat?
Free mode uses a hook, which works for typing and most games. Pro adds anti-cheat mode, which writes the Windows scancode map so no hook runs. It asks for UAC approval and needs a restart.
What do I need to run it?
A Windows PC and the Microsoft Store. It's a desktop app and needs no account. The optional driver mode downloads one verified file from github.com, only if you click to install it.
