I bought tux stickers to stick them onto the windows icon of my keyboard. However it is a lighted one. So you had tux on top and in a red light the windows icon shined through. It was even more cursed that way.
Microsoft is the one that forced manufacturers to add it, or they couldn’t advertise their keyboard as being “Designed for Windows 95”, as it is required for the shortcuts (e.g win + d shows the desktop). The “Menu” key was added at the same time so that the Win 95 UI could be navigated without a mouse.
Now they are going the same with the CoPilot key. And poorly - Windows keys send keycode 0x5B and 0x5C. Menu sends 0x5D.
The CoPilot key? Left Shift + Windows + F23, obviously.

What? You expect me to use “Super” out there in the wild and not look crazy?
