Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center

When you purchase a new keyboard or mouse, you pretty much know what to expect from them in terms of functions. However, if you own a Microsoft peripheral and you want to customize it, you can try Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center.

Once you install it, it automatically searches for compatible devices connected to the computer and helps you make the most of them.

Depending on the device you want to personalize, you will be able to tweak the behavior of the My Favorite keys located on your keyboard so that they open various items from your PC’s taskbar or they launch a chosen app, website or file. Similarly, you can modify the behavior of the Calculator or Mail keys so that they meet your exact requirements.

You can adjust the timing in macros whenever you want to delay events such as key presses or mouse clicks.

Another function of Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center is that the customizations you apply can be active only in user-defined applications, which is especially useful when you want to speed up cumbersome tasks in Word or Excel for instance, but also within various games.

Due to this feature, the same key could have a certain function when used within Windows Explorer, a different one within your browser and another one within a game. The benefit of this customization is that you do not need to learn new keyboard combinations or use a different keyboard in order to fully enjoy your games.

Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center can help you make the most of your Microsoft peripherals, without requiring expert computer skills or featuring a steep learning curve. You can customize both your keyboard or mouse as uniquely as you like, since there are virtually no limits to what you can assign to your keys.
