Posted by CmdrTaco on

Kabz found the 10 Worst PC Keyboards of all time which leads off with the Commodore 64 and takes a trip through PCjr country. Might trigger some nostalgia, or some sort of flashback wrist strain.

    Ah, a fellow caps-lock hater. I customarily pop off a bunch of keys on my keyboards. It gets me a few odd looks at work, but it saves me lots of hassle. If I truly need one of those keys I can use a pencil to activate it. Here's the rest of my hate list:

    Insert - I've never had a use for "write over mode." Has anyone?
    Windows - Almost useless, squeezed between useful keys. Fortunately my Linux systems ignore this key.
    Menu - I'll just right-click, thanks.
    Num lock - Why won't this go away? Why do I need a way for my numeric keypad stop to working? Are the arrow keys hard to find?
