I'd like to know if there's a way to disable the LED light of my capslock key. I'd like to use it for gaming but everytime I press it the LED turn on and it blinds me.

Disable capslock LEDs light

You can use a tool like AutoHotKey to rebind it to another unused key, which won't allow capslock to be enabled and thus disable the light. I recommend reading the AutoHotKey Tutorial for more information on how to get started.
For example, I use AutoHotKey to rebind CapsLock to Ctrl:
Capslock::Ctrl
Simply place that in a text file with an extension of .ahk, double click, and you're off!

The capslock key is replaced with success with the ctrl key but this doesn't prevent light goes on. – Samuel – 2016-02-03T21:07:35.150

@SavannahTaulbee: If all you're after is key remapping and you aren't using AHK already, SharpKeys or similar can help. These programs use Windows' own key remap mechanism via the registry and do not need a program to be constantly running, as AHK will.

@Karan: beat me to it. Amusingly, I distinctly recall there's a commercial product to do that. Personally, I favour blue tac for that, assuming its a non painted surface – Journeyman Geek – 2013-06-07T04:18:41.057
@JourneymanGeek I also recall seeing a special product for this (I can't remember the name of it)... It was definitely amusing through! :D – Breakthrough – 2013-06-07T04:25:35.593
