F Lock. It's stupid, because I need to push F Lock, just so I can use F1, etc. Sheesh. At least have it manually come on when I start the computer.

YESS!!! I have an MS Keyboard, and the F keys won't work until I turn on the F-Lock, yeah because I *really* need MS Word shortcuts at the tip of my fingers right when windows fires up :roll:

Whoever made this decision at MS needs to diaf

There's no key I really don't like. It's mostly layouts. Screwy keyboard layouts are... well... screwy.

let's see... on this computer i am using a crappy dell keyboard and it seems that the a, s, d, e, n, l, and the o keys all hate me.

dell makes the crappiest keyboard known to man.

F-lock. I WANT MY F KEYS ON ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!

Nothing makes me more angry than to hit an f key in a game and then have the game be minimized and my documents open up. damn you logitech! Granted, I've set it so the F keys do their function with f-lock on or off, but its still an incredibly dumb idea.

You can do it with software, which OS?

normally, L Alt is right next to the spacebar, but on this keyboard, the '\' is right next to spacebar. It really isn't that helpful to \ + F4 a window.

None. I don't miss keys.

EDIT: Ok, the power button. Press it and I have to wait ten minutes before I can do anything again.

the hibernate button
the F10 key (anyone who's played counter-strike knows)
and the H key. It's just in the wrong spot when I type my name. My name is John Michael. But I keep wanting to push the H key with my left hand, so I ALWAYS end up saying Jogn Michael on the first try. Only when I type my name do I feel that I have to push H with that hand.
