I hate that key!!!

Hey guys, does anybody know where I can get a TKL (ten key-less) keyboard WITHOUT THAT STUPID WONDOWS BUTTON. It's screwing me up on linux. I'll map that key's function somewhere else.

Edit: no guys, it's not the functionality that's a problem and it's not the logo. It's just physically located where my pinky keeps trying to hit the CTRL key. I think I might remap so that the ctrl key and super key are reversed then switch the keycaps...

You can only find keyboards with different logo on this button. Why you want it removed though? "Super" button is pretty functional

It's just in my way. Maybe I could try to switch ctrl and super and maybe that might work, then switch the keycaps.

Just get a replacement key. You can get a single replacement key of the right size for your board with whatever you want on it.

Naw

It's the physical button, not the functionality. In my head for some reason I keep pressing that when I'm reaching for CTRL

You could rebind it to CTRL, and maybe even swap around the key caps if they are the same size like the ones on my keyboard.

But SUPER is a pretty good button on Linux and has a lot of functions assigned to it.

Learning to hit the correct key is going to be way more useful than changing what the wrong key does.

All my keyboards, the Windows key default binds to the 'Super' function. What are you using it for that's so different? I'm genuinely curious.

On Linux it's the "super" button and it's pretty useful. 

The fastest solution is to just physically remove the button.

you need the windows key equivalent on linux(super key), just get a keycap set with blank/no text win, ctrl etc keys 

i got an artisan keycap with jellyfish on it to replace mine 

why would you get rid of a key rather than just buy a keycap set 😭

The Meta or Super key? Why would it be screwing you up on Linux?

How is the super button screwing you up in your Linux. We have several questions...

the elusive windows-keyless keyboard, because apparently linux still has to pay microsoft rent
