G-Hotkey Description
Mostly geared toward experienced users, G-Hotkey is an advanced software application designed to help you customize hotkeys for playing video games. It’s backed by a wide range of configuration settings which require a bit of patience to figure out.
After a brief and uneventful setup operation, you’re greeted by a seemingly simple interface, where you can create as many profiles as you want in the main app window.
Create and manage game profiles
It’s possible to edit the game name, load time and location, supress hotkeys deactivation, establish global hotkeys, select the on/off key (Scroll Lock, Num Lock, Caps Lock), as well as to specify the priority level.
In addition, G-Hotkey can automatically save games (quicksave) to any location on the disk you indicate. It lets you define the save frequency and retry interval, play sound (Wave audio tracks only), and set the key delay (in milliseconds). The release key may be selected from a drop-down menu.
Record and play macros
In the following steps, you can remap any keys into anything else, enable rapid fire, set the key delay, as well as create macros and play sound. Moreover, you can add personal notes, edit profile properties anytime, as well as remove any game profile from the list. Command lines are supported for experienced PC users.
Evaluation and conclusion
No error dialogs popped up in our tests, and the tool didn’t hang or crash. It left a small footprint on system resources, thanks to the fact that it requires a low amount of CPU and RAM to work properly.
On the other hand, it takes a while to figure out how to map the keys. Other than that, G-Hotkey gets the job done, providing an effective solution for reconfiguring keyboard shortcuts when playing video games.
