Hi, I tried to use the program on my laptop cause the issue that i have is that the right arrow key press itself constantly on my laptop's keyboard. I use an USB keyboard because most of the keys from the laptop's just doesn't work. When I disabled that key that was causing trouble it also did in my USB keyboard. I wonder if there's a way to disable the key only in the laptop's keyboard and make it work in the USB one cause I really need to use that key but I can't handle its constantly press.

No, there isn't an easy way to distinguish between keyboards on Windows. SharpKeys uses Registry remapping which works by scan codes, and those don't have a source tag on them.

To do what you want, you'd have to write some sort of driver I think.
