I think you can program all those fking buttons to do what you want, just install the software.

Well, it's not like they appeared "magically" aircooled, they were there when you bought the K/B! 😛

Iono, but I hate the fking F-functions

My MS keyboard has all that crap but most of its does not work since I did not install the software for it.

 

[aircooled]

even without the logitech software installed, several of the buttons still squirt.

Just program them to open your favorite programs.

That, or make the one that says "shopping" open up a picture of the cat in photoshop... get it... photoSHOPPING... HAHAHAHAHAH haha.. ohhh boy....

*crickets chirp*

*long silence*

Okay, I'll shut up.

I'd like to see keyboards get rid of:
windows key
caps lock
that silly menu button 😕
print screen
scroll lock (never understood what this one even did!)
insert

Is this not the obvious reason?

 

[Sureshot324]

I don't think I could go back to using a keyboard that doesn't have volume controls or media player controls.

 

[rh71]

haha you got one of 'em kiddie keyboards. Didn't Compaq introduce those ? 😉

 

[pyonir]

I wish i had fking buttons...think of the fun i could have with my buttons that fk.

 

[lobadobadingdong]

why don't you just pop the extra buttons off, then they won't be in your way 🙂

 

[CrackRabbit]

I'm still waiting for a keyboard that comes with the buttons for smite, nuke, panic, and kill n00b.

I use the windows key to map to ESC so that, when I use vi, it switches my mode.
why caps lock?
I agree with the stupid menu button.
scroll lock is used by some kvms nowadays.
don't understand why you'd get rid of this one.

*screams in terror and shoves a crucifix in your face*

I utilize the Windows key every day. So many short-cut commands...

I also pound scroll lock every day, to switch between computers on the KVM. Its original intent, to lay your mind at rest, was used mostly in spreadsheet applets, it kept the active cell active while pressing the arrow keys and instead scrolled the entire spreadsheet

The 'menu' key, I guess you mean the right-click key. Most useful when you don't have a mouse for one reason or another, or when you need to move a window that is otherwise stuck in no-desktop-space-land.

The insert and caps lock key I do understand though. Get rid of those.

I'm pretty sure n0cmonkey doesn't run windows.
