Ketboard keys not working? Try alternate keys

If your keyboard's key is dead (not working) you can map it with other key. For example key "A" is dead, so you can map it with any key like "Ctrl" or "Caps Lock". Also you can turn off a key on keyboard. Today i am sharing information about a software that will help you to solve this problem

SharpKeys is a Registry hack that is used to make certain keys on a keyboard act like other keys. For example, if you accidentally hit Caps Lock often, you could use this utility to map Caps Lock to a Shift key or even turn it off completely. This official release includes support for up to 104 mappings, an extensive list of available keys, and a "Type Key" option to help when managing mappings. As it relies on internal support within Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Vista you must be running one of these OS's for this Registry hack to work.

Download it here msi , exe , zip and install it.

After installation run Sharp Keys and do following steps for mapping keys. 

Go to add tab first,,,

Now select your dead key from Right side and select new key (for that dead key) from lift side of the window. Click Ok to save the changes. See the following snap

Now click on Write Registry. It will change your registry settings for that key.

After doing all these steps Log Off or Restart your computer, After that your new mapped key will start working. Enjoy & best of luck.
