5 Free programs to make every player's life easier
We focused first and foremost on tools that make life easier and solve certain issues. For this reason, we miss out on all kinds of instant messengers, game overlays and burning programs.

Volume2 (Download)
Another great program to make life easier for players is Volume2. With it, we will quickly change the volume of sounds - also directly in the game.
What is its advantage over the system solution? You can set a shortcut key so that when you hold down the volume control is done using the mouse wheel. In that case, we do not need to tear our hand away from the mouse to adjust the sound.
It is also possible to set the mute key and some other useful functions.
SharpKeys (Download)
The first program we propose is SharpKeys. It's true that the app was not designed for the players, but great for them. With it, we can freely configure the operation of individual keys.
Most games have keystroke settings, but SharpKeys works to a greater extent. Thanks to it, we can adjust, for example, the volume keys, or turn off the Windows or Caps Lock key, which often interfere with the gameplay.
The changes made to SharpKeys are saved in the system log so that we can be sure that they will work in all games, windows and applications. If we do not have dedicated software on our keyboard, SharpKeys may be a good replacement.

SoundSwitch (Download)
Every player using the headset certainly knows how annoying it can be to constantly switch between them and the speakers. The solution to this problem is SoundSwitch. It's a simple program that will quickly change the source of the sound.
The change is made using a predefined keyboard shortcut. In this way we can even choose which microphone to be active. Quick and comfortable.

SpaceSniffer (Download)
SpaceSniffer is not a typical gaming software, but it can be extremely useful when searching for valuable disk space. The program displays in the form of squares the folders that occupy the most space. Quickly switching to the Steam folder will visually determine which games occupy the most space. In this way we will make purges, which will result in free space for more titles, waiting in line for installation.

MSI Afterburner (Download)
MSI Afterburner suggests its name that it is intended only for the equipment owners of this manufacturer. But nothing more wrong. With the software can benefit anyone.
This tool is useful for overclocking your graphics card. Up to date, it presents the current clocking of the graphics core, voltage, temperature or fan speeds. It also offers the ability to take screenshots in games and even record games.
There is also a mobile app for remote monitoring of computer parameters during the game.
