programmable keyboard
A computer keyboard that can be customized by the user. For Windows users, keys can be redirected by software utilities or by making changes to the Registry, the latter a rather tedious job. However, there are a few keyboards that have extra keys that can be programmed. See programmable keypad. |

| Sadly long gone, the Avant Stellar was perhaps the most flexible keyboard ever made, although used ones are still available. Either via keyboard commands or a software utility, every key could be reprogrammed. The duplicated function keys provided extra keys for customization. See mechanical keyboard. |
