i think the most useless and unused keyboard button would have to be that mysterious 'scroll lock" on top of the north button.

Dont even know what it does........

the 'Insert' button, god I freakin hate it >=(
All it does is make me screw up here and there because I accidently hit it while hitting backspace.

Print screen is just a fancy way of copying whatever happens to be on screen at the moment.

You can paste it into paint and cut from it.

The print screen button doesn't print your screen. It takes a screenshot of your desktop and copies it to the clipboard. As for me, my most useless button would be some special button on my keyboard that is for "Club HP" which does absolutely nothing.

A lot of the keys on a keyboard have uses but only for specialized purposes. The main time I've used the Break/Pause button was when I was programming in QBasic/Visual Basic. Caps Lock is also a good key for programming since many languages use all caps for various things. I actually find page up and down to be useful for browsing in Firefox from time to time. I think the most useless button on a standard keyboard would be the menu/list button.

Print screen takes a screenshot of what ever you're doing Pause/break, stops a program in something like QBasic (that's what i used it in atleast)

The only button I've never used on my keyboard is the "Pause Break" button. I don't even know what that does. I assume I could use it while Window Media Player or Quicktime is running, but it just sits there.

So Enter, the space bar, shift, delete, and the arrows are useless keys?

Don't think I've ever used the PauseBreak key for anything. Just about every other key thats obscure, I've had to use some of them for games like Battlefield 2.

There's a load of crap on my keyboard I don't use. The button labeled, "ZZz" in the upper left corner of my keyboard catches my eye, but I never use it.

I was going to say the Pause/Break key on account of the fact that I don't even know what it does, but considering that the Insert key actively annoys me when it's hit rather than just doing nothing, I'm going with the Insert key.
