A downloadable tool for Windows

Download NowName your own price

JustFred's Keyboard Overlay is a tool that can be used to display your keyboard actions on stream!

Simply download the software, add a window capture scene and chroma key out the background!


This is an early pre-release of the software, any feedback or bug reports are very welcomed!

How-To-Use:

Double click in the overlay window to bring out the menu. From the menu you can change keyboard, import new keyboards and configure the key mapping.

Pro Version Features:

  • Support for importing user made custom images/sprites to fully customize your keyboard.

Known Issues:

  • Overlay requires users to do a one-time configuration of the shifts keys to not make both react to a shift press.
  • Using the in-app import .zip features will import files into %appdata% instead of the program directory (this does not impact functionality.)

I cant import my keyboard?

Thank you for your support! I've reached out to you on Discord with a fixed version of your zip file! Hope you enjoy the tool ๐Ÿ˜„

Just bought the pro version imma test it out <3

Thanks, this is just what I needed! For me, I stream primarily on a Windows desktop but change over to showing MacOS via an Elgato card video output and Synergy to share the mouse/keyboard. It's important viewers can see what I'm typing on both OS's, and this is by far the best solution of any program, tool, OBS plugin, etc... I have tried to accomplish this reliably.

I tossed over $5 to buy you a coffee even though the free version stuff is good enough for my purposes. Super useful tool, thanks for making this!

Hi, I just purchased the Pro Version because I wanted a variety of different Keyboards to use on Stream. Is there any Way to get other Skins for this?

Thanks for the support Kevin! 

I noticed that I did not have any example files available for download, that has now been fixed and there should be an Example Keyboard.zip file that you can look at and modify to create customized keyboards.

If you have any questions or would like some help with customizing your keyboard I'd be happy to help adjust the design to your liking. Feel free to join my discord https://discord.gg/47ap8cE or DM me over on Discord (@justfredrik) :)

Thank you that's exactly what I was looking for. Keep up the good work I'm looking forward to see more from you. 

Awesome, sorry for the inconvenience. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions! :)

Is there any way I could get a Version with this Sprite that you made I would love to use the Keyboard and the Mouse in my Stream or

would that be to much work?

I would pay for this Application of course,

I was just wondering just a question the customization is crazy if you use aseprite etc.

I would love to give you credit for this.

I just love your work. 

Creating a mouse overlay is something that I have gotten requests for before and I would like to create one but I do not have a current plan or time frame for it.

If you have any thoughts on the features that you'd like to see in a mouse overlay please feel free to send them so I can write them down for future reference! :)

Thanks for letting me know! What keyboard layout (lang) are you using? :)

The tool can remap the keys in case some users experience incorrectly mapped keys. You can double-click in the window and it will open a menu, then click configure. In this configure mode you can go through all keys or manually click the specific keys you want to reconfigure. By pressing down a key on the keyboard, it will remap the currently glowing key to that keys keycode. :) 

If you have time to share more info I'd love to get some more info on your issue, my discord username is @justfredrik :)

Thanks for the reply, I am using Dell KB216 Multimedia USB Wired Keyboard. I have fixed most of the keys, now only few keys that are not properly remapped are AltGr or Alt Graph that is special key. And Right Fn key. (Also I have sent you Discord Friend Request.)
