    Recently in a post here someone adviced me to remove that key from my keyboard, and I did it I have been almost a month without that key and I tell you that we dont need that key at all. No more pressing accidentally that key when formating your code or when pressing shift key. give it a try you wont regret.

      I write my assembler code in uppercase, so I need caps lock.

        I'VE ALSO MADE THAT, AND I FIND IT A PITA. I WONDER WHAT I DID WRONG.

          I code in binary, so I've removed all the keys except the numeric key pad, backspace, and enter.

              CAPS LOCK IS FOR WUSSIES, I USE THE SHIFT KEY! :D

                  I honestly don't know why that key exists, it only causes annoyances... Luckily, most keyboards now have a dip in the side of the caps lock key where it borders the A key so you can't hit it when you hit the A key. And since my pinky is usually on shift anyways, I don't often hit it accidentally in that case. I do miss Tab on occasion though...

                              Hmmm, I never actually thought about how little I use the Caps Lock key. I used to remove the three Windows keys because accidentally hitting them is a real pain in the neck and I rarely use them anyway. Soren Madsen

                                Three? I've never seen more than two :doh: but my home PC's keyboard has a mode that disables those keys (primarily intended to prevent you from accidentally minimizing a full screen game by hitting them).

                                    ok then, you'll just need 10 keys apart from backspace and Enter :-)

                                      I bought this[^] when ms first started to make them, then after a couple of years, several of the keys (Insert, Delete, Home, End, Page Up/Down, and the arror keys) started to become somewhat unresponsive. So I bought this[^], which drove me nearly insane - I even started to use Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V. Now I use this[^], and once more I'm able to type while holding the phone with my left hand.

                                        Recently in a post here someone adviced me to remove that key from my keyboard, and I did it I have been almost a month without that key and I tell you that we dont need that key at all. No more pressing accidentally that key when formating your code or when pressing shift key. give it a try you wont regret.

                                        I would rather they ditch the windows keys.

I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

                                          I've always been perfectly content with this[^]... :thumbsup:
