It offers various configuration possibilities and uses roughly one Megabyte while running in the background. It provides access to several features only known from multimedia keyboards. This includes changing the speaker volume, launching executables from the local hard drive, opening the default email program to wrote an email to a specified address or opening local paths and urls.

The interface displays the list of preconfigured keyboard shortcuts upon startup. It is possible to delete those to begin with a blank set of keyboard shortcuts. A shortcut consists of a computer keyboard combination, an execute command and an icon. The combinations that are offered by the software are to combine Alt, Control and Shift with a key on the computer keyboard.

The combinations can be tested and become available after hitting the apply button. Most interesting are probably the options to launch a website, program or location.

The main advantage of the computer keyboard tweaker is its low resource usage. The program asks to register an account but there were not any obvious disadvantageous in skipping that step. Keyboard Tweaker is compatible with all Microsoft operating systems starting with Windows 9x.
