Editor's review of MapKeyboard

- "MapKeyboard"
- Version reviewed: MapKeyboard 1.0
This free application lets you customize your keyboard layout settings, though its lack of hot key functions is disappointing.
MapKeyboard's interface resembles the standard keyboard image that most users will be able to easily utilize, even without a help guide. The program allows you to change the output of a key through a pull-down menu of output keys. You also can create multiple layouts that will suit your needs. In addition, the program allows you to quickly revert to the original keyboard layout with its one-click reset keyboard feature, though we still prefer the hot key function that this program unfortunately lacks.Regardless, customization aficionados will surely find this freeware handy and easy to use in personalizing their keyboards.More popular System Utilities downloads

-
Version: MapKeyboard 1.0
Pros: The software is easy to use and has clear instructions.
Cons: However, I had some questions about using it and sent emails via the website and direct to Jake (address on website) with no response. So, I lack confidence in ability of InchWest to provide software support.
-
Version: MapKeyboard 1.0
Pros: Simplest and cheapest solution for layout problems.
Cons: Needs language support. Most of Europeans can use like a Windows Patch to decimal thousand seperator problem, faced while using NumDel in most of the programs.
It is neccessary to Restart PC after a change.
-
Version: MapKeyboard 1.0
Pros: Good if you just want to replace one keystroke with another.
Cons: You can't remap modified keystrokes, e.g if you want to set up Ctrl and Up Arrow to be Page Up you can't do this. You can only modify Ctrl or the Up Arrow, not a combination of the two keystrokes.
Also you need to reboot after you make your changes.Summary: Didn't work out for me.
