I have always used gaming keyboard from Logitech. On the "multiple
keys" thing ... I think I number is between 8 and 10... but they
also have between 6 and 18 (maybe as many as 24?) programmable
keys. These are key for games with annoying interfaces ... or just
a lot of keys to push.<br>
<br>
But the "kicker" that is useful "all the time" is the little screen
they package with the keyboard. By default, the only "app" I have
on there is "SirReal" ... which displays some graphs and whatnot...
but it also includes a key to kill a process that is wedging the
UI. This will even often work if CTRL-ALT-DEL can't bring up the
task manager. In fact, that's the whole point.<br>
<br>
I used it more often back in win-7, but I'm still glad it's there in
win-10.<br>
<br>
Since Logitech seems to be phasing out the screens, I have been
wondering if an r-pi experiment is warrented, but I haven't got
there yet.<br>
