If you are using an earlier operating system than XP or Vitq you may have to download and install version 1.The feature to remap controller buttons PC for gaming was surprisingly demanded for our controller mapping software. It will load your customised keyboard straight to your keyboard toolbar at the bottom right of your screen. Download and install Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator 1.4 on your Windows 8.1 computer and then run setup from the saved files on your usb stick. Under the projects tab, click the build function and save the files to a usb stick. On the older computer Run the software and load an existing keyboard. It will allow you to load and modify keyboards but not save them. After 5 hours of fiddling I came to the conclusion that Win 8.1 is incapable of building the appropriate files using the aforementioned software. The easiest solution I have found for custom keyboard layouts on Win 8.1 is to use the Microsoft keyboard layout Creator 1.4 on another computer with an earlier operating system. I did find this, but I have no idea if this is something that would work for you, but for what it's worth. Hi I'm afraid that's the only idea I have. What good is that? Are there any alternatives for a locked down computer running Windows 7 or greater that don't require an installation? I looked into AutoHotKey, but it downloads as an installable file that requires admin rights to install it. Why did Microsoft take away the per-user functionality? Is there a chance of it coming back in Windows 10? Is there another solution that doesn't require administrative privileges. I literally suffer pain and need to go to doctors if I have to use the Control key in its "default" location. With more and more companies locking down their computers and not allowing local admin rights, it is becoming problematic. For some asinine reason, this was dropped in Windows 7 and remains gone in Win8. Windows XP used to allow per-user keyboard remapping by editing the same entry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER. The entry you have to edit is in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, which you need administrative rights to edit. Windows has a registry entry that allows you to remap the keyboard, but there's a wrinkle. I've been programming for over 30 years and I learned to type on the older Televideo and original PC keyboards that had the Control key next to the 'A' key, where CAPS LOCK is located.
