Title: Context Menu Key purchase?
Post by: ravage on Wed, 15 February 2012, 00:51:55
So I picked up an Overclock.net branded ducky shine, and it turns out that the keyboard doesn't have a context menu key. One of their forum members suggested to install SharpKeys and that worked wonders. I was able to convert the right windows button to a context menu button. However, the button on the keyboard still shows as a Windows logo.

Does anyone know where I can buy either a context menu button or even better, a context menu button which would work with LED backlit?

Either would be fine I guess, though I couldn't find anywhere that sells LED backlit key caps.

Press it and see :O

It brings up a context menu. It's application dependent, but I can use it as a right click. Sometimes, it'll bring you to the menu on top.

Basically, it's not really that useful of a key anymore. I don't think I'll have one on my phantom, instead making it a modifier/function key.

Yeah, I couldn't try it in windows, because my CMstorm is the same way.
