dbminter Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 I have a wireless keyboard powered by batteries. As such, there have reduced the number of indicator lights to one, the power level. I need an app I can run that will tell me what the status of the Caps Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock keys are. I can check the Caps Lock one fairly easily by typing in the Search field in the Start menu and see if the letters are upper or lower case. However, I can't think of a way to check the other 2 keys without some kind of app that does it. I tried Googling some search terms but all the hits I found were for API and C code to check the status of the keys. No app I can run to do it. Can anyone recommend such a utility I can run in Windows 7. Freeware, of course. Thanks!

dbminter Posted May 8, 2014 Author Posted May 8, 2014 Thanks! The first one does what I need. Not the best way but it works well enough that I don't need to try the others out.
dbminter Posted May 14, 2014 Author Posted May 14, 2014 Actually, I just now discovered by accidentally pressing my Caps Lock key that there is a barely visible until it illuminates light! The other Locks don't do this. They should, though!
