Disabling the Windows key

[BRON]

Here is a link with instructions on how to disable the Windows key on your keyboard. You can still get to the Star menu by pressing Ctrl + Esc.

Whats the point though?

I just flip the switch on my g15 to turn it off. Also, simon it's nice because if you slip and hit it in a battle, instant alt-tab.

That would definitely come in handy. Thanks!

Be very very careful. Making changes to the registry can be very dang370(5.

This would be better put in the Tech Talk, seeing as it has nothing to do with TF2 and rather computers in general.

Option B: take a butterknife and pry it off your keyboard.

Nah, i would rather use the direct hit and blow it off.

I never ms-press a key. I am a cold, calculating gaming machine. When I play games I am interfaced to my computer so much that we become one. My thought are directed into action with the keenest of movements. I never "accidentally" press anything.

Thanks! Its useful for keyboards like mine but changing your registry can be risky if your not careful so try and not mess up.

Neither do I, thats why so many of your rockets receive "return to sender" errors when shot at me!!!

On another note: Logitech G-15 is win!!! Not only do I have my macro keys (one set for spy, one for engineer, and one for bored), I have all the controls I need to dominate!!!

When you turn on the switch, the symbol actually lights up...I've just noticed this after 2 years.

But then again...it's hard to see the light..when there's mold and plants growing out of the keyboard.

THEY SHOULD MAKE THE LIGHT MORE NOTICEABLE LIKE LASERS GO PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW out of the symbol

Gaming keyboards are probally better than playing around in the Registry,
G15 is awesome

 

[featherfoot07]

I use the handy switch on my G11 to make it not work.....

 

[KuNai]

I love my Logitech G11.

I don't have a fancy keyboard.
I'm not afraid of editing the registry.
I've never accidentally hit the windows key.

Glad we had this little talk.
