For one, this is a bit related to Windows but whatever. Sticky keys is about the dumbest thing ever. Every installation I do or computer I go to on the Campus I go to deactivate that useless feature. It causes me nothing but problems with games and I like using shift often.
What are some other keyboard annoyances you've faced? You can also mention anything someone else brought up and share stories relating to them. |

There's the "magic keyboard", where the Ü key caused the computer to shut down.
Other than that, well... I hate it when you can't press multiple buttons, which you sometimes have to do on emulators. A real pain. |

Yeah, there seems to be a real limitation annoyance with like 4 keys in a certain circuit rows of the keyboard. This is pretty much why I want to get a controller but I haven't really had the time to find me a good one. I've actually had a key near my esc key that WOULD shut down the freaking computer without question so I ended up pulling it out. There were a few other annoying keys on this computer I ended up pulling out but forgot what they do. |

Posted by Liliana This is an annoyance I find too
I couldn't pass a certain area in Chrono Trigger on the SNES because I neede to push more than 3 buttons, and my computer only allows 2 buttons to be pressed at the same time. (then I found out I could map the buttons onto a single key, or better yet, to have a gamepad) Other than that, I hated when a keyboard I used to have had a "half moon" button, which caused the PC to go to sleep mode, and it was placed in an awkward place so I ended pressing it a lot. |

For me it's more of a fat-finger issue when I accidentially hit the ' and the enter key at the same time. Same goes for using control and tapping the Windows key as well.

My new computer came with a wireless keyboard and mouse that would often screw up or lag, etc. (even after trying different batteries), such as giving repeated keystrokes (like "trtrtr", etc.) so I decided to put those away and plug in the keyboard/mouse from my old computer instead
Aside from that, I hate when I accidentally press \ or ' trying to hit Enter (yet, I do manage to do that regardless of what shape Enter key it is )"Miracles happen, when you believe..."

I sometimes end up hitting the up arrow as opposed to shift on this keyboard. Oh, and then the fact I've tried to play a game that required you to press Down + PageDown.. which isn't physically possible on this keyboard. The world could always use more heroes! |

♥2015 ✿5042 ★49 My old netbook (which I eventually came to dislike enough that I literally gave it away for nothing) had an awful keyboard with a small-sized (the size of a letter key) shift key next to the up arrow... so many times I hit up instead of shift... (this was only the beginning of the issues with that machine, of course) |

On the IRC I sometimes hit enter trying to hit ' as well. Sometimes while typing a message I hit enter instead of shift and sometimes the other way around. "Darn it, why won't this message not se- oh, that's why." " Wait, no! I didn't mean to send yet!" |

Posted by NicoleI use a keyboard like that anyway.. Just the shift key is a little bit bigger than a letter. It takes a lot of learning how to type on such a keyboard.. But it also needs to factor in the size of a keyboard. I've used a lot of compact keyboards.. which can have really horrible layouts. This one's a bit unusual. Google up a Keysonic KSK-6000u if you want details. ![]() The world could always use more heroes! |
