How to Change the Position of a Delete Key on a Dell Keyboard
There are times when the keyboard setup just doesn't feel right on a Dell keyboard, or maybe it's just not like your old keyboard. The "Delete" key may be too far away and you wish it were in another location. There is a way to change the location of your keyboard keys. You can change as many keys as you want to make typing faster or easier. It's just a matter of using simple utility software. Some of these software programs are free while others have a cost, but all of them have a free trial period. Using any of these utility programs is easy and will allow you to change any of your keys. If you aren't happy with the change, just change them back.
