AutoHotkey seems to operate at a pretty high level in Windows' input processing stuff. There are lower-level APIs and tools available, but which behaviors are you trying to replicate?

All I really want is to have each shift bound to parentheses on tap. This was exceptionally easy to do in Mac (Karabiner) but seems halfway to impossible on Windows.

AHK has usually worked for me in the past for rebindings, but this problem in particular seems to be too much for it.

What tools have you tried? Have you tried SharpKeys? IIRC I've used it in the past - not for your scenario though - and it worked well. Plus it's on GitHub.
