A bit of acetone will fix that.
could just replace it, no? Unless your keyboard is weird, the size of window key is pretty standard right?
Not as easy on a laptop, like this is. Usually a pain in the ass to replace laptop chicklet keyboard keys, if you can even find a replacement without a windows icon
For anyone interested, this is a tuxedo laptop
Why they use derpy Tux? or is it you choosing it I think they let you do that, but atleast it’s not a Windows logo
I’ve had this laptop for some years now and I don’t remember why it has the
derpycute Tux, but I think it’s the default one. https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/Individual-Keyboards.tuxedoYeah it’s cute but derpy cute XD
There are distro decals you can replace with :)
Keyboard ?
Disabled mine a looong time ago
That should be easy to replace.
And if not, maybe take the money you saved on a Windows licence and treat yourself to a better keyboard. It’s worth spending a bit on your primary input device, the thing you use the most.
For anyone sadly stuck on Windows, please, please for fucks sake don’t pay full price for a license. Go grab an OEM key from an authorized reseller for like $20.
There’s some limitations on how many machines you can use it on simultaneously. That’s it. Otherwise it’s a full valid license at less than 1/4 of the price.
Even better, just use MASgrave and pay nothing. Yo ho ho.
I used Masgrave before I migrated to Linux 2 years ago
Like what? I’m looking for a full keyboard (100%? With numpad) what are your suggestions?
A lot of diehards like Unicomp for the typing feel, and I was very tempted since I used an IBM Model M for ages. But honestly they’re pretty ugly.
Now I run an older fullsize GMMK with Kailh switches (bronze) and it’s great. There are a zillion similar customizable KBs these days though.
Glorious is GOD. Loved the mouse but no layout for me :(
Buy a unicomp. https://www.pckeyboard.com/page/SFNT
Shits built like a tank.
GET THE SANDPAPER
Not worth the microplastic. Just put a sticker over it.
The logo is embedded on the keycap to let the light passthrough
I hate that shit so much. I don’t buy keyboards with the Windows key logo on it anymore.
my kb came with mac keys too so i replaced win key with command, i hate it less
Super key? That’s not Window’s specfic, it’s just a logo.
Wow
Why is there a Win-Lock option? I get Caps Lock and Fn-Lock but is there any other reason besides saving a finger for the all-important Win-Ctrl-Alt-Shift-L shortcut to open LinkedIn? /s
Its on gaming laptops so when you are playing, you dont accidentally open windows menu
Oh, so it does the reverse of what I thought
LMAO, I thought that was a windows app store icon.
Same lol
I’m petty enough to put stickers over mine.
Yeah that’s what I’m gonna do on mine
If you want an alternative, lab label tape is a bit pricy but is super durable, comes in fun colors, doesn’t leave residue, and sticks for practically forever.
The “sticker” is actually an off-cut from a laptop skin from my other laptop (which also runs Linux, and also has a sticker over its Windows key :P), so it’s held up pretty well
My keyboard came with both windows and Mac keycaps, so I put the mac one since it isn’t a corporate logo. Plus the symbol signifies a culturally significant sight in my country.
I respect this.
Throw away that key and get another one with a pinguin instead ;)
If it that easy ;_;
Ooh the key that wrecked video games for decades!
I still don’t get this I don’t think I’ve ever accidentally pressed it while playing a game, and I am someone who constantly presses every wrong key while typing
CTRL and ALT is used a lot in strategy games for example.
I remember playing an FPS game… Heretic? Shadow Warrior? I would play it without a mouse. Alt would be a modifier on the arrow keys for strife (sidestepping). Spacebar to shoot, and you’re set for disaster.
Space Cadet Pinball was another one. It was nice playing with Ctrl, on the corner. But hit the Win key and you instantly lost focus of the window.
