The KeyMapper is helpful for creating a customized configuration for a device's keyboard. This can be helpful in a variety of scenarios. Users who don't like how their keyboard is configured by default can use KeyMapper to change things around to their liking.

Without a helpful app like KeyMapper, it would require in depth knowledge of coding to figure out how to change keyboard configurations. With the app, keyboards can be altered very quickly whereas without the app it would take a long time to do all the necessary coding to make this happen. The app offers a great deal of freedom and makes it so that users have a lot of control where various letters and numbers are placed on their keyboard.

The program is completely free to use. Another thing to make note of is the fact that this app will only function with the Windows operating system. The app was produced by developer Stuart Dunkeld. It is just on its version 1.0 as of now.

Those who want to use this app must have Windows 2000 or alternatively a new version of the program. The app is available in English. The most recent update of the program was put out in June of 2011.

The app has to be quite popular as it has a lot of downloads so far. Its popularity comes no doubt thanks to the fact that it makes a complicated task easy for users. It's not uncommon for users to want to reconfigure their keyboards. Perhaps they don't like the order of the letters or they want to include some characters on their keyboard that aren't there. These situations can be remedied with KeyMapper.

Those who use this program are often impressed with the fact that it is fairly lightweight considering its capabilities. It won't take up a lot of storage space.
