How to disable or change a key in keyboard without using cmd/command prompt and acii keycode

Due to some hardware complaint my comma key (the keyboard key with < ,) was repeatedly getting pressed automatically. This problem was annoying me for a long time and it caused a lot of headache to me specially when I was doing some coding .

I just decided to disable the key. I did it with the help of a software called SharpKeys.

What is SharpKeys?

 It’s a small utility that will let you easily map one key to another key easily, or even turn the key off, without having to enter the registry at all.

SharpKeys  manages a Registry key that allows Windows to remap one key to any other key. Included in the application is a list of common keyboard keys and a Type Key feature to automatically recognize most keyboard keys. It was originally developed in C# using .NET v2 but has been updated to support .NET 4.0 Client Profile

The software is free to download and it works with windows operating system. Click on the following download link to download sharpkeys software.

How do I use it? Getting Started with sharpkeys

• Launch SharpKeys, by selecting it's icon from the Start menu after proper installation.
• Add a new key mapping or edit an existing one

• You can click the Add button to bring up the Add New Key Mapping dialog, where you can either select the keys to map from the lists, or just click the Type Key button and press the key manually as shown in the below image.

• Click "Write to registry" and wait for a confirmation that the registry was successfully updated

• Close SharpKeys and either log out (and back in) or reboot to enforce the new mappings

Things that SharpKeys will do:

• Map an entire key to any other key - e.g. you could remap Caps Lock to a Shift key
• Remap more than one key to one single key - e.g. you could remap every key on a keyboard to the letter Q
