I guess DED disagrees with this: http://www.roughlydrafted.com/2007/08/11/how-apple-keyboards-lost-a-logo-and-windows-pcs-gained-one/ ----- Microsoft also added a special key for opening contextual menus, featuring the icon of a pointer on a menu.…

@bryan3000000 But is that the optimal workflow for battery maintenance, to leave it constantly plugged in, instead of draining down and recharging it? Should this approach change irrespective of whether it's plugged into an external monitor, keybo…
