Just another key to make grandma ask "OK, what does this do?"

Don't worry about it grandma, just be sure not to accidentally press it when you're fragging noobs.

Games will disable it during play, just as they do for the windows key

What games disable the windows key? As a lefty, this is something I've desired my entire life to the point where I think I'd pass out from the endorphin rush if a game did this.

Not all of them. Certainly not Quakeworld, which is Grandma's favorite.

Or more likely she'll accidentally press it and call you in a panic thinking she's been hacked and wondering why her computer is talking to her.
