    So let me get this straight… Microsoft demanded all PC manufactures change their keyboards to add a new key that is only useful in Windows (at a considerable cost to manufacturers), and now that key doesn’t do anything? No wait, I shouldn’t be surprised.

    My new work laptop came with one of those keys and I was like why? I pressed it and it did nothing, it has been disabled by my employer. Great a useless key.

      I think I read somewhere that it just sends shift+super. So you may be able to bind it to whatever. At the same time its a dumb decision because now there’s wasted space for a key combo you can easily press on a normal keyboard too

    I’d have never bought a computer with one of these keys anyway. They dictate enough about my device, the keyboard is where I’m drawing the hard line.
