Disable Alt Key
« on: Tue, 19 April 2011, 23:30:19 »
Is there a way where I can disable the alt keys, or even just the left alt key in Windows 7? Just so i can use my mechanical keyboard while i wait for a response from EK.

Autohotkey should solve this problem.

Hmmm, after a little thought you might want more than what that script does.  It will just prevent Left Alt from firing on it's own.  To make it so it can't fire on it's own or with any other key:

Code: [Select]
#NoEnv
*LAlt::
return
Filco w/ Imsto thick PBT
Ducky 1087XM PCB+Plate, w/ Matias "Quiet Click" spring-swapped w/ XM Greens
