    Is there a way to remap the windows key location?


    Is there away to remap the windows key location... it is too close to lctrl and lalt for my liking... mine is right between those two keys and I also have a second one on the right side of Alt Gr...

    I don't like it because sometimes I accidently hit the left one when I am gaming and it screws me up... both lctrl and lalt are used in a lot of games...

    I would rather not disable the feature but would like to remap the key or set it so I have to press the windows key and 2 other keys at the same time to get it to activate...

    anyone know if this is possible and if so how to do it?

    thanks.

    You can right click the game exe file (the actual application in the program files area not the shortcut.
    and set it to ignore those keys. Though you will also lose alt tab ability from within the game I think.
