Can you crazy glue it down? Seriously who needs a dedicated calculator button?
-
mangs17288yI had the same problem on my previous laptop. It had an calculator button on the left most of the left ctrl button. My god, HP, why?!
-
@aleksanderakero 5 years ago I'd agree. Now everyone over the age of 10 has a smartphone with a calculator built in.
I will say on the Mac using the calculator in spotlight is pretty convenient though. -
I don't need a calculator button to open many calculators: win+r -> calc -> open the app -> forget to close
@lynxis i keep pressing insert without even knowing it, my keys are too light -
human2308yI have a Microsoft Ergonomic Desktop bundle. It has a detonated numpad separate from the keyboard and yet there's still a calculator button on both keyboard and numpad.
Microsoft really loves calculating stuff! -
@davidbgeek Lol! I guess you should basically be calculating at twice the speed -_-
-
@crystalclear Not that I know of. Probably, but it did not come with any software to do so. Like some of the gaming keyboards do.
-
@aleksanderakero It used to be re-mappable in Control Panel years ago (I'm talking Windows ME)
I think there's some software you can install though to setup custom key mapping. -
@itsdaniel0 Thanks, I'll have a look. Although I think that very soon I will have spilled my coffee on this one ;p
This is why I currently have 14 calculators open...
