Keyboard And Mouse Locker

Keyboard And Mouse Locker is a lightweight software application whose purpose is to help you lock your keyboard and mouse using a set of straightforward actions.
The utility is suitable especially when you want to leave your children in front of the computer tapping the keyboard or performing random clicks without having to worry that they may destroy important documents.

Simplistic layout

After a fast installation process where you only need to press a few ‘Next’ buttons in order to bring the task to an end, you are welcomed by a clean and intuitive design that integrates a few configuration options. There’s no support for a help manual, only some hints are displayed in the main window about how to unlock the application.

Locking capabilities

You are given the freedom to lock your keyboard and mouse using a single button. You cannot activate the locking mode individually because it is available for both the keyboard and mouse.
The unlocking mode can be triggered by pressing a predefined keyboard shortcut combination, namely ‘Ctrl+Alt+Del’ and then pressing the ‘Esc’ button. On the downside, the program does not offer you the possibility to reassign the hotkey.
During our tests we have noticed that Keyboard And Mouse Locker carries out a task quickly and without errors. It eats up a minimal amount of CPU and memory resources so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered.

Bottom line

All things considered, Keyboard And Mouse Locker delivers a simple and efficient software solution, and can be mastered by beginners and professionals alike. Although it is developed to work on Windows XP, Vista, and 7, we have tested it on Windows 8.1 Pro and runs smoothly without causing compatibility issues.
