it also automatically registers you to receive more spam, check with your keyboard manual next time and let this be a warning to all those who didn't read their keyboard manual and are suffering now with getting alot of spam.

Fight the small print!

yes, the windows button is useless absolutely.

**notabook** · 10-05-2006, 02:00 PM

Most used: asdw I guess... most unused: SCROLL LOCK :P Well scroll lock, this upper right key that seems to have no purpose at all, and three buttons in the middle of the keyboard that double as mouseclicks. All of those are never used.

The only thing we have to fight is the fight itself.

I was looking at my keyboard and saw that some keys weren't used as often as others. Maybe looking at how worn the keyboard is can reveal some things about you. I'll start:

Most unused keys: Q W J K Z X

Shows that I don't play games on my computer since W A S D and I J K L are used for 3d games

I don't type in alot of domain names into the browser, otherwise w (www) would be more worn.

Fight the forensics!

The key I use most frequently is the "What the Fuck?" key.

**Elixir** · 10-06-2006, 05:41 AM

hehe interesting thread ..

**KrisKross** · 10-06-2006, 10:27 PM

I hardly ever use F1, F3, F6, F7, F9-F11, Scroll Lock/Insert, ~/`, menu key and the right CTRL key. I use everything else on a near daily basis.

**bellskids** · 10-06-2006, 10:40 PM

asdf jkl; should be easily the most used keys on any keyboard if you are a touch typer like me, if you hunt and peck well then id probably say that the most used key would be the backspace button lmao

**bellskids** · 10-06-2006, 10:41 PM

tho i should add that if you play track and field or many of those online flash games you could easily have a very well worn set of arrow keys lol

Take alook at your keyboard with a light on it, and look at it at an angle, to see the worn spots.

i am a touch typer as well, but the J key is noticably not as worn, and doesn't seem to get alot of keyage.....gamers will have the J key used alot because of you use it for navigation (or the arrow keys).

(because of this post, the J key just got alittle bit more keyage).

that's why i started the post, that by looking at your keyboard and seeing what keys aren;t beeing used alot or are, i might be able to get some insight into a person

(responses are for entertainment value and not a sikological assessment of character)
