remappable

Keys can change

Remappable describes controls or functions that can be reassigned to different inputs.

A remappable keyboard lets you change which key performs which action; remappable game controllers let players customize button layouts to their preferences: All the controls are fully remappable.

The term appears almost exclusively in computing and gaming contexts.
