Apparently mine must be 'A' as that's the most worn.

My keyboard at work is all dirty and grimey, but my keyboard at home is spotless. Odd that, considering that I never clean either.
Oh, and I like the Shift key.

My keyboard isn't worn at all (it's only 5 months old), but has an interesting collection of tomato stains.

I took all the keys out of my keyboard, cleaned them separately and dusted it a few weeks ago, after having not done so for about two years. I swear it is worse than before.

I like the button that (in some apps) emulates the rightmouse button. (between the Windows key and right-ctrl).
It seems utterly useless

SEE?
More importantly, ¦ requires the use of an extra key. Alt Gr no less.

It's from the "old days".
Used to be used for literally locking scroll axes, and dealing with chunks of code bigger than the screen etc.
Some applications still use it :shocker:

I think I used to use it in Encarta, when copying the image directly would give you a big copyright notice along the bottom.

No idea.
I just pressed it, then with shift, with alt, with ctrl, with shift-alt.... you get the idea.
Nothing. NOTHING. As soon as I can get hold of a "lasers" button SysRq is coming out.

Try pasting into paint when you have pressed it.
It actually 'prints' to the clipboard.
