Is there a "Windows Key" on the keyboard? If not is there another key that functions as the "Windows Key" e.g. Command Key?

No. There is not. I use the keyboard with a touchscreen so just touch the logo on the bottom left corner.

Yes there is, My wife is not to computer savvy, but loves this keyboard......

I previously answered incorrectly because I was not sitting at my tablet. Yes the keyboard does have a windows key but I've never used it.

Works fine. Apparently, you can map the keyboard to make it more functional in a windows environment, but I have not gotten around to doing it. At any rate, I have been using it for several months with Windows 7 and love it.

Hi Allie, I haven't used that function bc you can touch the screen and it will pop up select or select all and then Copy...But I tried to do command + C and command + P and did not work. However I LOVE these keyboard! Luciana

Yes all of the home/end. Arrow keys, etc are on the number pad, you have to press nmu lock to switch them. And the F keys require no activation that I've noticed, I'm always able to use them without any other key toggling them.

Not this model specifically. Das does make a windows version of this keyboard.

You can do all the shortcut keys with cmd key + x (cut), c(copy) etc. Also this keyboard has the cut, copy, paste, undo keys on the left side which I used all the time which saves a lot of keystrokes. This has been a great keyboard and my wrist pain has gone away totally since switching to this one.

I did notice it seems to store the last config you gave it - so you can plug it into a different PC without even installing the drivers it will provide the same keystroke commands you last assigned it. Its not recognized as a game controller by the way, so it seems to behave more like a plug-and-play keyboard in that sense.

I was watching the Engadget Show yesterday and they mentioned this keyboard does not have a Right-Click button? Can anyone verify that? That would be a pretty big consideration for anyone purchasing this unit for their windows boxes.

If you are referring to what some call the "application key" or "menu key" the answer is yes. By pressing the key on the right side of the space bar, between ALT and CTRL, inside an application or after clicking and highlighting something, it will bring up a context menu just like any other windows keyboard. Some keyboards have a dedicated key or keys that you can assign to launch applications. If this is what you are talking about, the answer is no.

Short answer: no.The Green Button is just not there. The little android logo button in the middle actually locks and unlocks the mouse cursor; you press the logo button, wave the remote around in the air, and the mouse moves on the screen.If you wanted to use this with Windows MCE, you'd have to use a program like EventGhost or AutoHotkey to remap the F-keys to MCE friendly keystrokes. On a related note, the media control buttons on the row of f-keys also don't do anything on a Windows PC. You'd have to use a keymapping program to make those useful, as well.

Yes it does. It is located on the bottom right side of the keyboard between the ALT key and the CTRL key. It is labeled with a small square with lines that resemble a menu. I have not used this key but when you press it a menu comes up. It is the same menu that pops up when you right mouse click. Keyboard is great.

No, it does not have dedicated keys for what you ask. It has those functions under the F keys which you need to press together with the function key.

Yes. It has lighted keys with the option to disable the Windows key. One draw back, it shows the option to control video ( play, stop, etc) using a function key but, has no function key. Good solid keyboard though.

Helen, As far as I recall the only instructions were something (I forget what) that said the switch to the right of the function keys (blue or white) is to switch in and out of Windows 8 functionality. Otherwise, there was a blue sticker on the keyboard to tell you how to change the left half of the space bar to backspace. That's all there was and all I needed. The tiny print at the bottom of several keys are keyboard shortcuts, i.e. alternatives to mousing around, which have been common to windows software for many years. Otherwise it is the same as any other keyboard as far as I know. There is a compartment on the bottom for the battery also, but that should be no problem.

This is a 101-keys keyboard, so you're short of the Cmd key. You can map the Ctrl key to act as Cmd and choose not to have Ctrl key instead. You then can set some important shortcuts with Ctrl (e.g. Spotlight) to use Cmd instead.
