If you're like me and you have a couple of keys such as crouch or prone that are near to the Windows key, there are times when you press the darned thing by accident...

Found this little util (maybe someone already knows it...) which allows you to remap any key on the keyboard.

Hope it helps...

It's called KeyTweak and can be found at http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick/

Could also be used in fun situations with friends...

This will change every key for all Windows programs. So be careful what you remap! I just remapped one key - the left Windows key - to CTRL. Now it is CTRL for every program I use.

But I loved the idea of remapping in to the Enter key so that I can run, duck, shoot with one hand leaving my right hand for a beer...
oh wait a minute, the mouse...right...forget that!

I always thought Chan's brilliant technique worked surprisingly well.

He took the key out of his keyboard using a knife.
