Probably the latter four "F" keys (F9-F12).

Seriously. Do I really need twelve of these fuckers? I occasionally use the first four, and have usedprograms in the past with shortcuts that go up to the middle ones, but what the hell am I meant to do with the rest.

F11 makes your browser go all full screen!

The left click button on your mouse, I mean seriously, what the hell. I'd rather just click tab and enter all the way

Easy, it's the scroll lock key.

If anybody can tell me what it does, they get a prize.

Yea, I'd have to say Pause | Break. It's pretty much the only key that never had any purpose in my years of using the computer.

Pause Break key ive never used it...

That right click key, the one to the right of start and to the left of control.

It doesn't end anything, and apart from some times being used in games, it apparently has no use.

The end key takes you to the bottom of the page you're on, and home takes you to the top.

Probably the button with the mouse pointer and the window. I know what it does but have never used it.

wut?

Pause Break button i don't need any breaks :P

Most of the "F" keys.

I never use them, ever.

The Log Off button. Probably the only key I don't remember ever using on my keyboard.

My keyboard has an anarchy key. I'll use it, eventually.

I never use the "FN" key on my laptop.

How dumb.

You mean f5?

Mine is probably scroll lock.

Well, more recent keyboards have this strange key(not sure what it is) that for some reason switches around every single key or moves all keys to the right or something... Either way, it fucks everything up.

I'm pretty sure scroll lock takes the price, along with home and end

THESE TWO

That Windows key always gets in the way when I'm playing a game and I go to hit Alt or Ctrl.

And that menu key is just useless.

the tilde key. (the "~" symbol). never need it.

Pause/Break, Scroll Lock, that strange key next to Ctrl and the windows key that i have no idea what it even does.

Scroll lock is easily the most useless key as most programs don't even account for it anymore. It used to be that if you turned scroll lock on in a program that had a cursor you could move the screen around, but leave the cursor where it was while using the arrow keys. That doesn't work anymore.

End I find to be extremely useful, especially while browsing or writing documents as it allows me to go to the end of the page I'm on. Home is similar but it goes to the beginning. When coding both of these buttons are extremely useful.

What is it supposed to do? And why is it next to the numbers?

That key is the left side single quote. Not all text editors automatically replace it like word does, so the single quote is still needed if you are programming or writing in a mark up language like latex as the left double quote doesn't exist and you need two ``single quotes to make a double quote.''

Anyhow, break and pause are so specialized even I had to look them up and its use is so technical a majority of you would never have to care about it or use it.

A lot of the keys I used to think were useless became absolutely necessary once I decided to go for computer science.

YOU'LL NOT TAKE MY KEYS AWAY FROM ME, YEE CHEEKY BASTURDS!

CAPS LOCK.....its always seems to be on when i dont want it on...and it seems every time somebody types in all caps somebody else tells them to not type in caps...

Useless? Probably Page up or Page down.

As far as detrimental goes, it's probably the mother fucking windows start key. This fucking key. Responsible for so many inconvenient alt tabs when I'm playing DOTA or some other online game where accidentally alt tabbing = death.

The scroll key, seriously it does nothing.

Shift+backspace

num lock. I don't even know when its on because i took a sharpy and wrote over the light.

I hate the scroll lock. Never used it, and I don't even know what the hell it does.

the fn key wtf does it do

it has to be this key ~ because i've never used it...well except now (i have no fucking idea what that is called) or the tab key because it makes me mess up with my spelling and pissess me off
