MartinHey @JamminJerry I think I ran into the same issue you had a few weeks back. My windows key won't work on that stupid keyboard. It works when set to Mac, but not on the PC setting. So weird.
JamminJerry@mcourcel that is just odd!
@JamminJerry And that is just as helpful. lol! Guess I'll have to figure it out. What's the brand of the keyboard again? It's not coming up on my Amazon purchases for some reason.
@mcourcel found it. here you go.
Redragon K618 PRO 3-Mode Wireless RGB Mechanical Keyboard, BT/2.4Ghz/Wired Low Profile Win/Mac Gaming Keyboard w/Ultra-Thin Design, Dedicated Media Control & Linear Red Switch
@JamminJerry Okay, so pressing FN+windowsKey will enable/disable the Windows key. I don't see the benefit of that, but there you go. Lol! Did you want the manual? I got CoPilot to scan it for me
@mcourcel that would be nice.
@JamminJerry Here you go:

@mcourcel thanks for that.
Borris@mcourcel @JamminJerry It's a thing mostly with gaming keyboards. I guess the idea being, if you're playing a fast action game where you need to continuously whack the control key, if you accidentally press the windows key, it won't shove your focus off to start just in time for you to get blown or up or whatever.
@BorrisInABox @JamminJerry Oh'h'h'h'h! Yeah that makes sense I guess.
