Unfortunately, Pause /Break Key remap requires you to actually touch the registry manually.

SharpKeys2 – For me, this is the best since it was showing the correct scan codes so I was able to compare with the actual registry value.

These freeware keyboard remapping tools are basically showing the registry scan code values in GUI and help you easily edit them. But all of the softwares were not able to handle the PAUSE KEY remap. So I began searching the Key Mapping program and forums. I was trying very hard to get used with the layout, but it was absolutely uncomfortable!

And the DELETE key is located 2 keys to the left from the PAUSE key. And the convenient position is top right corner of the keyboard where I can directly access from the mouse easily.īut there is PAUSE/BREAK key at the perfect location. So the placement of DEL and HOME keys must be located in the most convenient place. You see, I mainly use MS Outlook all day and use the DEL and HOME keys frequently to manage the emails. However there was a very minor problem with the key layout. The price was reasonable $19.99 with extra 7 dollars for shipping and tax. I don’t want to spend fortune on a keyboard.

They must be scissor design keys – Just like notebook keys.

I was able to find some keyboards that has layout exactly very similar to the notebook keys, but they cost more than $100. – Some mini keyboards has very awkward placement of keys for backslash ”, windows, and control keys. The key layout must be similar to the notebook key layout.

I searched some ergonomic keyboard and mouse and realized that there are mini keyboards(88, 89 keys) shorter then the regular Keyboard with 101 keys in length.īelieving that shorter keyboard will help relieve the pain, I searched Internet forums and shopping sites for the best mini keyboards. I use quite number of desktop applications at work which makes me moving my right hand and arm around alot between Mouse and Keyboard.
