    Hi! I was wondering if anyone knew whether it is possible to switch around the properties key (which is at the top of the keyboard on the models I've seen) with either the alt or ctrl button on the bottom right of the keyboard? When I edit in word, I like the properties key next to the arrows... Any suggestions? I haven't been looking at Dell because of the placement of this key, but if there is some type of software that would let me switch it, I could save quite a bit of money with their sales right now!

    Thanks for any insight you can offer!

    I doubt you can do it. The only way that you might be able to do it is if you can find some software that allows you to configure you keys.

    Yeah, it's not going to be possible without a program.
