How do I give unused keys the function of a key thats broke?

I have spilled water on my keyboard too many times and I would like to begin using pointless keys like the pause break key when I need to type that character. Is there a way? I use Windows 10 4x Home Premium.

I used
Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator 1.4 when I ended up with a US keyboard that I had to make english

You know keyboards can be had for like $10, right?

Also I have never spilled water on my keyboard, and I don't understand how people manage to do so. However when I was 14 and had my first PC (a snazzy Pentium II) my friend came over to see it and spilled an entire can of coke on my $100 (a fortune for me at the time) MS Natural keyboard that I had saved up for. Needless to say, it was ruined. It still worked but it was so sticky.

Take it apart and clean the gunk out of it? Assuming its a membrane keyboard they're simple enough to disassemble give the mechanical parts a good wash and put it back together. I've put mine in the dishwasher before now comes up a treat.

Corsair keyboards can be remapped in software - they also have the advantage that (most) of them are mechanical so easier to repair.
