It has always boggled my mind why there is a menu button on keyboards. Maybe its there for backward compatibility? It might have done something a long time ago (access menu bars on computers without mice?) but now it just does the same thing as right clicking on the currently selected object.

Wikipedia answered my question: "This key is normally used when the right mouse button is not present on the mouse." Most mice have at least 2 buttons if not more, so it's pretty useless.  Except the stupid apple mice which I hate, if you're using it windows it left or right clicks depending on which direction you push the single button in.

I just figured out how to use the Number Pad! I gotta hold the Fn button on my keyboard and hit F11 (Which is the F key that has the number pad icon on it)

Which, on an off topic note, i can play Blockland on this laptop (if only it had a better graphics card!)

Holding Fn and pressing F10 (Which has an icon that resembles the same icon that is above the green light under the keyboard that shows if the Fn key is on or off) makes it so i don't gotta hold down the Fn key, it stays on by itself until i hit Fn and F10 again :D

Fn and F12 (Which has the icon of a square with two arrows on it, one pointing up and the other pointing down) does nothing, i thought it made the screen go upside down or something, apparently not

Fn and F2 apparently gets rid of the Brightness icon that appears on screen after changing the brightness with Fn and F6 or F7, even though the icon goes away by itself if you're not holding the Fn key down

My laptop doesn't have a volume knob or slider, I have to hold the Function key and press numpad + to raise volume and numpad - to lower volume. Also there's a [www] picture on my F3 key and a [sys rq] picture on my End key wtf do those do

Well, nothing system wise, however I've seen games that use that button for pausing.
