Remap keys on windows 8?

[jcar302]

Hey guys, bought a lenovo yoga.
So far i really like it, but for some reason lenovo thought it be a good idea to add a vertical row of keys on the right hand side of the keyboard, all of which are basically useless to me. Problem is that they shrunk the enter key and the backspace key is no longer far right, it's the home key.

Basically i hit the home, end and PgUp keys accidently and it doesn't seem to be getting better.

I tired a few remap downloads that i can't seem to get to work on win8.

I'd like to remap the home button to be backspace (having 2 of them will be fine) and do the same with enter and page up.

Any input is appreciated.

Which remap downloads have you already tried?

mapkeyboard
Keytweak
And some utility from 2003 from microsoftt

Mapkeyboard actually lets you try and remap the keyboard, but during installation it tells you it may not work and none of the mapping stays after you set it.

Have you tried sharpkeys? I am looking into the Thinkpad Yoga and I think I'll have similar problems, for me it will be the lack of a "menu" key, and the awkward position of the home/end keys.

AutoHotkey

It provides much, much more functionality than just remapping keys, but you can give it a try...
