SharpKeys is a Windows GUI utility that manages a Registry key to remap one keyboard key to another, such as turning Caps Lock into Shift. It includes a key list and a Type Key feature to detect keys, and writes mappings via the built-in Windows scancode map mechanism.
Use cases
- disable or repurpose caps lock on windows
- remap keyboard keys without editing the registry manually
- swap keys on a windows keyboard
- fix a broken keyboard key by mapping it to another
- map media or special keys on non-standard keyboards
When to choose
- you are on Windows 2000 through Windows 11 and want persistent, OS-level key remapping
- you prefer a simple GUI over hand-editing registry hex scan codes
- you want a free, open-source tool available via winget, scoop, or the Microsoft Store
When to avoid
- you need per-application or hotkey-style remapping rather than global key swaps
- you are on macOS or Linux, which have their own remapping tools
- you need to remap mouse buttons or complex macros
