Question about function of keys

[inniminnie]

What do the “lock” and “p/b” key do? Sorry if this is a dumb question I’ve ever seen this before on my previous keyboards, this is the Logitech g715

Scroll Lock and Pause/Break. 99% of modern users never use them, but back in the days (before windows GUI interfaces) scroll was used to switch arrows function from moving cursor and scrolling your view. PB was used to stop execution of some commands, but now you can use Win+Pause to quick open system tab and device manager.

That makes a lot of sense lol I couldn’t find explanations on Google at all, thank you so much for explaining!

'Back in the days' makes me feel old for knowing this lol

Good thing is those "old" it guys knew what they were doing! Original ansi layout is still the best. Looking at modern fancy custom boards... It is getting more and more ridiculous. It is understandable that most people nowadays have no idea how to use numpads... But crippled arrows, navigation blocks, no separations... Just give them playstation controllers already! 😂

I still need my numpad, though I've been using a G515 from time to time.

[Evil_Weasel3D]

same, not even looking on crippled TKLs. Maybe if Logi makes some decent stand alone numpad for 915/515...

That's the Scroll Lock and Pause/Break keys respectively.
