I rarely use it. I'm used to using shift to make a CAPS. I wouldn't mind seeing it gone on future keyboards.

The caps lock key should not be removed...There are a million other ways someone can spam in a forum or where ever else without the use of a caps lock key. Besides, I LIKE typing singular words in all caps to show stress on a given word that would otherwise be implyed in speach. I think its a stupid idea, personally.

Its true, I type in all caps when I am shouting or to be asertive. But, I still think that getting rid of the caps lock key would do anything. You could you get a weight and put it on the shift to have youself a caps lock.

LIKE THIS, IT REALLY DOES WORK.

lol Indeed, the clever spammers will discover this and it will make typing in all caps slightly easier than typing while holding down the shift key...

Just think, you could market "shift key weights" you could even make a NG edition angry faic one!

How big is the fucking OMFG CAPZ LOL key anyway?
Do they really need that much space?

Besides!We need this,PRESSING CAPS, IS MUCH EASIER THAN HOLDING SHIFT!
I find this a crappy idea.
The caps key is just as valued as any other key.

I would never use a keyboard that didn't have caps lock. I use it a lot when I do flash shit.

I never even use the caps lock key when I'm wanting to type in all capitals.

It always throws me off.

I just keep my right pinky on the shift key.

I usually accidentally use it more than I actually want to.

It's pointless.

There's nothing that requires you to type mass paragraphs of letters in caps that hasn't had a code to make it all appear in caps anyways.

No, don't! Everybody likes trolls. Seriously, betty == lulz.

But to be honest, Caps Lock truly is irritating. After playing some game like Halo 2, I find that Caps Lock is mysteriously on (the default button to crouch/teabag is Left Shift).

I think they may have taken it just a bit too far. I agree that it is sort of a nuisance what with noobs constantly typing in all caps, but I don't think it's necessary to rid all future computers of it.

Always a ridiculous petition wherever you look nowadays....

1. What are they going to do, come to our houses and pull off the caps key off out good (or at least decent) keyboards?
2. People will just hold down shift. I CAN TYPE EASILY WITHOUT USING MY LEFT PINKY
3. In some cases which I have no understanding, caps lock can come in handy.
