Personally I'd have to go with the pause/break button. dont think ive ever pressed it.
Personally I would probably have to say the Windows Key, never use it at all.
Using pause/break for pausing/playing music as well as ctrl+pause/break for mIRC.
Using the Windows key for winkey+e, winkey+d, winkey+l, winkey+r etc. all the time.
Never using the capslock key at all, have had it completely disabled for many years.
Definitely the 'insert' key. Nothing is more annoying than realizing you accidentally had overtype enabled in Word while rushing to finish a paper that's due in the next couple of minutes.
But on the other hand, the windows key is absolutely useful! I find myself hitting winkey + D at least once a day (reason disclosed).

I do use the windows key alot though in general, for pretty much everything.
vista/windows7 has that new alt tab menu, i like it.
I would have to go with insert or Pause/Break
Same as Holz, my pause/break is used for controlling foobar2000.
And about the most useless key, I don't think I've ever used the insert and home key in a few years.
The windows key, I use atleast 5 times a day.
http://www.symbianize.com/images/smilies/new/eaea.gif don't press the power key, all your project will closed and automatically shut-off your computer instantly. http://www.symbianize.com/images/smilies/new/eaea.gif

Personally, I think the ESC key is the most useless key. Every time I have a problem I just hit the power button.No, I am kidding!
I think the tilda/Graves accent key is taking up valuable real estate. The keyboard commands are nice to have around, so I wouldn't get rid of the winkey either.And I use the caps lock key quite a bit as well.
I would have to agree on the insert key. I manage to turn that thing on all the time and it pisses me off.
Agree with the people that use the windows key a lot. That key gets used quite a bit.
Well, Personally the Functions button are no use too me so I would say them except for F5.
definately going to go with the numlock key on my laptop..... i use windows key shortcuts all the time. microsoft has a good list of them for windows 7 here (click me). i actually use the pause key often whem im booting a computer that goes by the bios so fast due to a crappy LCD monitor attached to it. press pause when it beeps first and then it waits til you do something else to continue! Scroll lock is useful when working in large excel spreadsheets, and i have mirc using ~ instead of / for command prefixes. I thought about the menu open key below the right shift, but seriously.... who freakin needs numlock on a damn laptop...
I have to seriously admit that, like Holz, Caps Lock is the key I've touched the least. You've got 2 shift keys, so what's the point when you can even convert your text to uppercase now?
I'm going to have to say the little right-click key under right-shift and to the left of right-ctrl. I only hit it by accident sometimes.
I NEVER KNEW WINKEY +D DOES THAT. OH SNAP.Quote:

That button that brings up the right click menu, next to the right Winkey.
So useless I forgot it was there until now.
Uh.. My vote for the most useless key goes to the scroll lock, never used it. Of course I do press it, but thats more accident than intention.
And I agree with a certain someone when he/she said the winkey. I dont remember the last time I pushed it xD
I would probably say Page Break, especially because I have no awareness of what a page break is even used for :/
I agree, I have no clue as to what that does so I find it the most useless.Quote:

Actually, saying that, I think the one key I can not find an appropriate use for is the key to the far left of the number row: `/¬ (prime/backtick, not symbol). I've only ever used it for making this emoticon.

Probably the num lock, never used it, never will, I mean I have no idea what it does anyway.
Scroll Lock, I never use this key.
The so-called "Escape" key has never let me escape from any troubling situation. It's useless!
:mad:
=^..^=
i have also never used the scroll lock key. i guess this is really the most useless key of all.
I agree with you KillaH. I have never used this key. Actually i don't even know what is the actual function of this key. :-PQuote:
