What do you think of them? Mine has a button that summons a calculator, Winamp, mutes/unmutes the sound, autoplays the CD rom drive, or acts as an easy browser navigation tool. Not to mention it can make the computer turn off.

Mine has a volume knob, a play button, a next/previous track button, which is so damned useful. I have some other buttons, but I've never gone anywhere near them. (Except of course for the sleep button. That's damned useful.)

Mine has an E-mail button, a button with three people on it and I have no idea what it does, a search button, a lightbulb button and a shopping cart button. I've never used any of them, and I've had this keyboard for years.

Mine has all sorts of buttons I would never use (aside from maybe the sleep button)

Mine have got labels. In order:

My Documents, My Pictures, My Music, Mute, Play/Pause, Stop, Volume Up, Volume Down, Previous Track, Next Track, Media, Mail, Web/Home, Messenger, Calculator, Log Off, Sleep.

In addition, my keyboard's got an "F Lock" key, and where the F keys would be are dual keys. When F-lock is activated, they're the normal F1-F12, but when F lock's off, they're (in order):

Help, Undo, Redo, New, Open, Close, Reply, Forward, Send, Spell, Save, Print.

This keyboard roxxorz.

Although I very rarely use any of them:

E-mail, messenger, webcam, search, shopping, favorites, My Home. new, reply, forward, send, undo, redo, print, save, My Comp, My Doc, My Pic, My Music, a scroll wheel, and a go button.

Oh, and your standard music controls.

I don't have any extra buttons. I don't mind though... I have alot of things set up to run with a couple keystrokes. Like for example.. I can go to the next track of music in Winamp by pressing CTRL+ALT+PAGEUP, or open Windows explorer by pressing CTRL-ALT-E.

Lemme guess, you have a Compaq? My old one had the same buttons.

All my Dell has is the standard function keys. Poor me.
