Each button on the keyboard has a hexadecimal code attached to it. It’ll give you a list of keys along with how many times they were pressed.

Let it run for a day or two and click on ‘Stop Monitoring’ to stop the app from counting your keys.

Once, done, run the app, and select specific keys to monitor, or you can monitor all keys on your keyboard. Simply download the app, it’s free and installs it on your PC just like you install any other Windows software. To find out find least used keys on Windows, use apps like Ke圜ounter. This can be done manually or with the help of third-party apps like SharpKeys, KeyExtender etc. Doing this is pretty easy and just requires you to remap windows keys. This trick really helps me as I don’t even have to lift my hand from the keyboard to grab the mouse. But wouldn’t it be more efficient if you were able to remap these duplicate keys to open Applications? For example, I have mapped my Caps Lock to open Calculator and Menu key to open Google Chrome.

Pretty Useless right! Every Windows keyboard has duplicate keys and the only purpose it serves is you can use them with both your hands. Ever wondered what are you gonna do with two Shift keys, two Alt keys and the Caps Lock key.
