    The latest in a long line of stupid threads I expect to die within a week, I bring you KEYBOARD!!.
    In this thread, I ask you a very simple question: which keys on your keyboard to you find least used? Also, which keys are most used?
    By the way, I'd prefer if you could limit answers to those other than the basic letter keys.

    I use a laptop, so I LOVE using the Fn button. Since my 'top doesn't have peripheral volume controls and all.

    And Alt + F4, so I could close down my "bad websites" faster. >=D

    Least used; ... those two between "Alt Gr" & "Ctrl" at the bottom... hence why i scribbled "Oh ****" & "Any" on them :sweat2:

    Most; space & enter ... boring... no interesting stupid fact... just the truth there :/

    Actually, that's an interesting idea. If only my keyboard wasn't black ...
    For me, it's probably Scroll Lock. I don't think I've ever pushed that key other than when I get board and test to make sure the light still works.
    Most common, probably Ctrl, Alt and Delete.

    My \ key is broken actually, but coincidentally it's the least used key for me. I also like F5, Ctrl, the left Shift (use that 90% of the time I need Shift), and Backspace.

    I don't use caps-lock very often. The Win key I use as a shortcut key.. Win-F for example refreshes my Litestep desktop. I don't use the menu key at all though..

    The nine buttons sitting directly above the arrow keys are least used by me... other than the delete key.. and maybe print screen.

    I never use the F keys with the exception of F11! It's been a while since I used the Esc.

    I mostly use space, enter, up and down key (since I use UNIX OS), backspace, print screen :anime: , and Delete.

    My most hated key one the keyboard is INSERT! lol
    Over and out! :)

    Crtl-Alt-Delete is the one I use a lot. Other then that probably just CAPS LOCK,

    Enter and space.

    lol

    I'd say I use Scroll Lock the least and the Space Bar the most.

    Hahaha, you used my favorite emoticon! And yeah, all three parts of the \ key are completely separated from the keyboard. However, the sensor at the base of the key still works (just gotta push the key in a certain, aggressive way). I've tried shoving the parts back into place, and that worked for a few months. Then it got worse, so I tried super gluing it all in place. That didn't work either, so then I tried hot gluing it (using molten plastic from a hot glue gun). That didn't work either. So now I just leave it there... timid like a loose tooth that your tongue can't stop playing with.

    i've got one of those microsoft internet keyboards. they've got extra key that i don't use on top of the regular ones. :glazed: Its like a contest to see how many keys they can invent.
    hell, it's even got a button dedicated to the calculator. when was the last time you used that?.
    (btw, does anyone know what the F-Lock key does?)
