Re: What is the most used/abused key in your keyboards?

My most blurred key is the Caps-Lock, probably caused by a thick layer of dust that's built up over the years My most used key (and cleanest) is probably the space bar, seems logical as you use it at the end of almost every word.

Re: What is the most used/abused key in your keyboards?

my most abused key on this laptop is F4. Dunno why, but it got all jammed up, and i had to rip the thing out. and i've since found that laptop keys are damn near impossible to replace.

on my work keyboard, theres a layer of film/crud/mold/i-dont-know-what built up on my CAPS LOCK key. it's quite disgusting. i dont know what it is or how it got there, because i never use CAPS LOCK. i really should clean it off... it's pretty gross.

Re: What is the most used/abused key in your keyboards?

left control, right shift, and space bar seem to be the most beaten up on the one keyboard I have that's seen enough use to show wear (it's only about 7 or 8 years old.)

Yeah, but we use space bar key to press delete.

Me a Emacs user: What can you expect. The left control key.
There is nothing written on it.
Space has gotten much older but there was nothing written on it so it make no difference.
Labels on S,D,K,L,E,N,M, have completely vanished.
Return key has suffered.

The most interesting condition is of the Shift key:
The last t has got completely erased. There is a scratch on f which appears as t. There is a up arrow sign too. So the key becomes:
\triangle Shit

My keyboard also have a key with windows logo which is perfectly new. Also, th "Wake Up" "Sleep"and "Power" keys are shining bright.

I guess I should change my K/B

Would you mind sharing reason for using { } so frequently ?

Most probably used most when programming, though really the most used key for everybody should be the space bar or one of the more common keys.
