I hate the power button which "Genius" decided would be a great idea to have right next to the enter key........ yeah... yeah i can see why that would be helpful, if you're not experienced with keyboards and turn off your pc at night time that, that would be wonderful.

my favourite key: G16 down here on the bottom left, closely followed by the G18. (Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V macro)
My Least: Ins - it always manages to get effing bumped and make me scramble to correct it's insane shenanigans.

My favorite is actually on a typewriter: shift lock. It's exactly what you'd think it is: a double for caps lock, plus it allows you to hit, say, ~!@#$%^&*(){}|:"? without holding shift the whole time. Why has this brilliant innovation not found its way to computers yet?!

My least favorite, by arbitrary (read "flawed") reasoning, is the ; and : key, because I've now used five times in this short post, and that's just wrong.

Gotta love the space bar! I hate the extra "-" you get on the number keypad. Why do you need 2?

Least Favorite Key: Scroll lock (wtf does it do anyway?)

What's your's lovely-dovelies?
I like the ENTER or RETURN key. It's big, it's punchy, you can really smash it and it always satisfies.

I do not like WINDOWS key - it muscled it's way into keyboards (like we would notice the gap had gone).
I also do not like ' ` ¬ ' - illustrates my point, how do you get the third character and what are they for.
I don't mind Sys Rq but what does it do? I only ever use it to print screen. Maybe i'm missing out on some good stuff.

I like my "E" key. It's near "R" "S" and "A", all of which are important keys.

My least favorite key is the " ` " and " ~ " key (next to 1), it just seems useless.

Favourite: Space bar...I mean come on...how much would it suck if the space bar was small.

Least Favourite: OBVIOUSLY the windows key...the number of times i've tried to hit CTRL or SHIFT and ended up closing or crashing the game...just THINKING about it makes me want to throw my GF's laptop out the freakin' window.

The sys Rq key is fairly useless in a modern operating system. It has no preassigned function, but it still sends a signal to the bios. In the off chance your computer froze as a result of a communication problem with the bios (either because of malicious software or really bad programming bug) presses the key may unfreeze the machine.
