in this thread we post objectively retarded choices in tech

Strgen key? Is this some tranny shit

>>105926588 (OP)
the "Windows" key should be labeled as a Super key.

>>105926610

>>105926596
from the position of the Y character I assume this is an eu keyboard

>>105926638
Way to ruin a joke

for(int i = 1; i<n; i++){}

>>105926588 (OP)
one design choice that doesnt exist but should is a physical switch on small keyboards that changes F1-F12 to media keys.
even better just make a little more room for 2 rows.

>>105926588 (OP)
while we're talking retarded keys: copilot key.
If it's existence is not awful enough, look at how it's implemented: Windows Key+ Shift (Left) + F23. Yes you can send the same key on any keyboard (with an f23 key)

>>105926638
There's no such thing. EU countries predominantly use their own versions of ISO layout so they're all slightly different.

>>105926675
Waste of a key since you can do it software side. Not as much of a waste as a scroll lock tho, literally useless button.

>>105926736
this, I bought an ansi keyboard once, cause I thought hey it's querty I can do this.. yeah like no, I need ></ keys where you see Y

>>105926718
Did this cunts really put home, end pgup pgdown on arrows that you have to press with fn key? Jesus. Hopefully they didn't replace delete with a dedicated linkedin shortcut button.

>>105926796
>dedicated linkedin shortcut button
Crtl+alt+shift+win+L

>>105926796
There is a hardcoded LinkedIn keyboard shortcut in Windows. It pisses me off.

>>105926776
mine has the >< key and also the normal US iso ones lol.

>>105927025
>he wasn't joking
holy fuck

Holy bloat

this is why I will never buy a stinkpad

always remap to caps lock

>>105926588 (OP)
caps lock should be escape

>>105927030
try out Crtl+alt+shift+win+ any other letter, most of them are linked to some microsoft product, like O for outlook or P for powerpoint

>>105926588 (OP)
I agree, eurofag keyboards should not exist.
ASCII should have just been forced on the world and deprecated languages should have been rightfully crushed under American English.
Brits can shit and piss and moan while 'le pound' is renamed to the British Dollar.

>>105929843
as a romanian, i hate the UK layout too
LONG LIVE THE US LAYOUT

>>105926588 (OP)
Those Internet, Email, and Shopping slop buttons that were everywhere on late 90s laptops and keyboards. Most of them weren't even reprogrammable, they were just hard-coded to open Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, and the manufacturer's own product page, respectively.

>VERY GOOD MICROSAAR, THANK YOU FOR PUTTING IN THE LINKEDIN SHORTCUT

>>105926588 (OP)
I used to agree, but I eventually just got used to it.

>>105929311
>caps lock should be escape
No
Caps lock should be shift+tab

>>105926612
>soulless vs soulless

>>105929843
ISO keyboards have one more key though

>>105926638
that's a German keyboard (Z and Y are inverted on it since it uses qwertz layout)
>>105926588 (OP)
I got used to having fn and ctrl reversed on my Thinkpads and kinda like it now. but the fn key shouldn't be on the left side of the keyboard ideally, it should be to the left of right ctrl

>>105926612
SOVL vs soulless

>>105926588 (OP)
they have been putting the Fn key on the left since forever, since the IBM days basically when no other laptop has Fn. They shouldn't change it just because wintoddlers are too used to low end laptops with the Fn between Ctrl and Meta.

>>105926588 (OP)
Power button on laptops being part of the keyboard. It's a business decision.

>>105932383
Their very first Thinkpad has the control key on the bottom left so shut the FUARK up.

It gets worse...

Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Win+

W: Word
T: Teams
Y: Yammer
O: Outlook
P: Powerpoint
D: OneDrive
L: LinkedIn
X: Excel (Rather than E)
N: OneNote

And it works on Windows 11 AND 10.

As IT Support: Double tap to turn off the trackpad. At least I've gotten a lot of easy to solve tickets because of it.

Who cares about these?

>>105929843
US ANSI is technically the official keyboard layout in Poland, so even we didn't want the retarded short Shift bullshit.

>>105926588 (OP)
That is, but the Windows key isn't?

>>105933769
Windows key just work

>>105926647
What joke?

>>105933217
That's because there are Microsoft keyboards with office key which is just the Ctrl+shift+alt+win shortcut so you can open your Microsoft Office™ things faster.

>>105926588 (OP)
Not an issue if you have caps lock work as control

>>105926588 (OP)
this really fucks with me

>>105933217
how is this easier than pressing the windows key and then just typing the first letter of the program you want

>>105934470
>emoji key
>when win + . already does the same thing

>>105934470
Honestly, I dislike this significantly less than the CoPilot key -- at least this is something that's helpful for boomers.
