You can add registry entries to remap any key to a different keycode.
I have added one to my PC to disable the caps lock key, which I hit
accidentally
far more often than deliberately.
Hopefully there is some simple app that will accomplish that more easily
than researching the correct
keywords and codes you need to do it manually. In any case, you certainly
don't need
a special keyboard.
