Finally somebody answers the question why it's there all the time.

Just like man's nipples, useless though, nevertheless even evolution won't eliminate it.

EDIT:
It seems the method KBDFR told me doesn't work.
here is the youtube link.

Kbdfr's way works, you just have some index and list things at the end of the url for whatever reason. Without them, it looks like this:

It works, just put the "code" in there, not the additional stuff after and including the &.

If you could at least try to give your topics more meaningfull titles...
E.g. in your Model M topic put at least "Model M" into the title so people can find it later and it serves as documentation and not just as showing off your keyboards. Perfect would be a title like "Keyboard name, switch type, layout, date, ..."

I sometime use Scroll Lock in excel (muscle memory).

I used to use it a lot in older versions of IBM Lotus Notes

If you give posts such mysterious titles, they are very difficult to find, or to remember what they are about when you are searching for the information again in future, or when bookmarking the page and so on. This is why it is better to have short and simple thread titles.

Scroll Lock was used in a lot of things in DOS. The fact Keytronic didn't know its purpose shows just how incompetent they really are, what can you expect from a keyboard manufacturer who loved rubber domes and awkward layouts.

I'd say System Request is a more interesting key function since that definitely doesn't get used unless you're connecting to an IBM mainframe.
