Does this keyboard have functionality to turn off the windows key between control and alt so you don't accidentally exit your game?

Yes, it does. It has what's called "gaming mode", which has its very own key. When you press fn+gaming mode, the windows key goes dormant, and there's even a lighted symbol to tell you it's on, just like with caps or num lock.

Yes open the synapses and turn on gaming mode and the windows key will not work while gaming mode is on

I did notice it seems to store the last config you gave it - so you can plug it into a different PC without even installing the drivers it will provide the same keystroke commands you last assigned it. Its not recognized as a game controller by the way, so it seems to behave more like a plug-and-play keyboard in that sense.

Yes it does. However, those units DO NOT turn off when the key is removed. You will have to manually turn it off. I did not play to much with it. It might have an option to auto off, but i have not found it yet.

Yes it does. It is located on the bottom right side of the keyboard between the ALT key and the CTRL key. It is labeled with a small square with lines that resemble a menu. I have not used this key but when you press it a menu comes up. It is the same menu that pops up when you right mouse click. Keyboard is great.

Yes. It has lighted keys with the option to disable the Windows key. One draw back, it shows the option to control video ( play, stop, etc) using a function key but, has no function key. Good solid keyboard though.

I don't see anything labeled as such on this keyboard. Does have a key for: media player, calculator, "windows key" to take you to docs, programs, etc.; shortcut key to menu for undo, copy, paste etc., 3 keys to adjust volume from mute to high. Has separate calculator keypad on right side. I looked at some earlier questions about this keyboard and someone said keys were smaller. (but I think you have a lot more functions available). Another comment indicated there wasn't a guide or manual to help identify what all the keys can do. I figured the above keys out just by pressing on them. I like it so far, so good luck with it. Don't forget, it also comes with a corded mouse. Win-win for me.

Not as far a I know in standard usage. I imagine if you have a program like AutoHotKey installed you could map something to an F key. It does have a Function key but it is for switching to lesser used characters. You can use things like chrome shortcuts instead like ctrl T or Ctrl shift T

Not that I know of. In fact I didn't like it on my external keyboard. It wasn't very efficient.

There isn't an Alt key on the keypad itself. However, you can press the Ctrl and Alt keys on your keyboard along with the Del key on the Targus keypad, which will take you to the Ctrl/Alt/Del screen. I hope that I have answered your question.

If you do use the function keys and media keys a lot, the Fn toggle switch is a nightmare, but if you're running Windows you can get around this with an AutoHotKey script. I wrote one so that the AppsKey (the right click on keyboard) works like an Fn key on a laptop. Now my toggle switch stays in the white Function mode and I hold down the appskey to use the media functions on the same key.

Yes. That top line is as follows. The Esc key is on the left end, by itself. Then, moving to the right you have a space the size of a key, then F1 F2 F3 F4; small space, F5 F6 F7 F8; small space, F9 F10 F11 F12; small space Print Screen, Scroll Lock, Pause.

I'm not sure as I don't use those "non function" keys. Keep in mind, to use the traditional function key you have to hold the activate function key at the bottom left corner. If you don't, you can be in the middle of a game, for example, and suddenly activate a media player. It's mapped in reverse to the traditional keyboard. I'll try to test it tonight.

There are two control keys; one is on the bottom left and the other is on the bottom right. There are also two "alt" keys and two "command" keys.

Not with da keyboard directly. The keyboard does not have dat function directly. Maybe if u can find a software indicator or a alternative system function you'll be find. Otherwise, you simply have to 'Wing-It" when it comes to knowing. Hope this helps

I just got mine, it appears it is only the slider toggle in the upper right that does that. Shame, that is a real annoyance to have to choose between windows 8 function keys or ones you use while programming, like f5 to refresh your browser or launch you app in debug mode. seems like alt or ctrl should be able to do that.

Not at all, and it's very useful for games where a certain button has a confusing placement on the keyboard and instead of having to move your hand across the keyboard you just need to click the third button.
