Clever Keyboard Indicator

The computer gives you the possibility to customize it so that every activity becomes pleasant and the environment suits your style. Besides wallpapers and screensavers, you can use an abundance of utilities that target various Windows features. In this regard, Clever Keyboard Indicator gives you the possibility to view and customize visual feedback for keyboard buttons.

By default, the application comes with a few predefined configurations that target special keys like Caps, Num and Scroll Lock. All of them are equipped with individual icons for both toggle states and are displayed in your system tray. This comes in handy if your keyboard is not equipped with corresponding LED lights or they simply don't work.

However, taking a closer look under the hood reveals a whole lot more potential, convincing you that the application is more than just a means to know whether or not Caps Lock is active. What's more, the configuration window is highly-intuitive and anyone can set up options according to personal style.

A list displays all items put under surveillance, with corresponding details like icon for each state, sound and name. Sadly, you can attribute an icon only for keys that can be toggled, but there's a workaround that tips the scales in the application's favor.

This is because you can add any button on your keyboard to be tracked, with the possibility to receive audio feedback when pressed. A neat feature is “OSD” (on screen display), which shows the name of the key you press on your desktop.

You can fully customize the message, starting from position on your screen. Needless to say that you can change the default color, configure text font size type and color, enable transparency, add a background and a few more.

All things considered, we can safely state that Clever Keyboard Indicator fully deserves its name thanks to an abundance of customization options and the possibility to receive both visual and audio feedback for every button you press on your keyboard. It's lightweight, intuitive, fun and definitely worth a try.
