So I drive back to school and I set up my laptop and get ready for some web surfing when I suddenly notice, my "control" button disappeared. Apparently it broke off from too much usage or something and disappeared during the trip.
Immediate problems become: 1) Copy and pasting things 2) Hotkeying units/buildings in Starcraft 3) Minor habit things like opening new tabs in Firefox, etc
#1 and #3 are probably not big problems, but how the hell am I supposed to play Starcraft now? Is there even a way to hotkey things without the control button? O_o
People told me to use the other control button, however my computer only has 1 (O_o? I know).

remap the windows button and use it?

The Windows button is on the top right of my keyboard >_<
All I have next to control is Alt >_<

I'd try to get it replaced/fixed rather than use another button as a workaround, but I guess that would be a temporary fix...

You can buy replacement keyboards for most of the popular laptops. Prices run anywhere between $20 to $100. Average is around $40.

just musing about the fact that i'm probaby the only one who thought, when i clicked the thread, that i was going to see a thread about "life without a cock". good luck with your control button. i'd suggest getting a USB keyboard.

Step 1: Pop out useless windows key or right control key Step 2: Put it in old control key spot Step 3: Adapt to potentially smaller key Step 4: Get really frustrated Step 5: Ebay a new keyboard
(Edit: in case you're wondering I'm speaking from experience)

life without a cock? half the world's population seems to thrive without one
and a bunch of men in thailand
|
buy a normal sized USB/PS\2 keyboard and plug it in. They dont cost much
|
I saw the title and froze in a state of shock for a good 5 seconds...
I wish you the best of luck getting through this....
I couldn't imagine
|
pluck out the control key on the other side of the keyboard and put it in the missing spot.
|
or am i the only person with a keyboard with 2 ctrl keys?

Use a key you won't need, just pop it out and replace it.
