Is there a way to remap keyboard keys?

[WinkOsmosis]

I have a keyboard that uses a key combo for printscreen.. tap shift, then tap "/" on the numpad. But it's the Mac version of the keyboard so for some reason the combo doesn't work. So I want to use another key for printscreen.

Edit: Forgot to mention I'm using WinXP and a Darwin Smartboard (best keyboard ever made).

Edit: I found a program.. Tradekeys. But you have to subscribe to the PC Magazine library to download it. And it's freeware! BS!

Yeah, sure... we know you wanna switch them around on computers used for kids learning to type j/k

I'd like to know as well... hehe, muuuahahahaha!

Someone linked to software that does it....

For that you just re-arrange the keys manually, because they don't look up at all when typing. So when they hunt and peck at keys for ten minutes then look up... HAH.

You might try checking the keyboard maker's website, seeing if they have different drivers for using it on a windows machine. That would probably solve more problems than just this.

also, what OS?
from the quick google I did, it sounds like there is no way to do this through windows easily (read: without programming knowledge) and there are programs out there to do it.

Couldn't you just hit 'Print Screen'?

I have a keyboard a few years ago that you could program macros. Kind funny because every once in a while the keyboard would go haywire and needless to say it was an interesting experience trying to type.

I don't think there is a print screen on a mac keyboard, because macs make you hit something like "CMD + SHIFT + 1" to do a screen cap.

A Mac keyboard doesn't have a dedicated print screen key (and they talk about innovative and ease of use?! blah! I have a Mac keyboard though lol)

That does the job. It is what I am using for my Apple Pro keyboard.

I found a site.. http://www.pitt.edu/AFShome/k/c/kconover/public/html/keithbet.htm

But as looking at the MS pdf, it looks like it' sfor ps2 keyboards. This is USB.
