What's the most annoying key on the keyboard?

The Cavalier · 01-17-2003, 12:51 PM

Well?

I have to vouch (did I spell that right?) for the the little "windows" key, because one too many times I've accidently hit it in the heat of a videogame battle (like Ghost Recon or BG2), and the stupid start menu pops up.

I know this is a stupid post, but hey, I haven't posted anything in quite some time, and I need to keep my count up.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, YYYEEEESSSS. I HATE that key.

On my gaming comupter at home I removed the windows key to keep that from happening [img]smile.gif[/img]

How about the key next to the left windows key, looks like a menu picture. I don't even know what is DOES!

I can live with the windows key. THe most annoying is the dang power button!! Since i put my coffe behind the keyboard I brush against it now and then. So when in the middle of anything, well whoop-tee-do, the computer shuts down!

I agree there Willow, rip the key off, if you never use it, you can't hit it, and you can snap the key back on anytime!

Speaking of Whoop-tee-do, I'm a drow warrior.

The "any" key. [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img] Ok, enough joke.

I would have to say the "]" key, which is next to the ENTER button. I have accidently press that key too often.

Yepp I´ve done that now. The final straw was when I was emailing a Brittish friend of mine. I´d written 2 pages(!) when I bumped that dang key! Oooops all gone!

The "menu key" displays the right click menu of the selected window. It can be useful when you don´t have a mouse...

The "insert" key really irrates me. Its right next to backspace, and it starts to eat up text if you accidently hit it, and you can go on typing for *ages* before you've realised what's happened... bleh. Its happened to me once or twice... they coulda put it somewhere else.

Yeah, all the buttons in that area seem jumbled together because of their different sizes and shapes.
