The home button is on the touchscreen of my smartphone. When I try to type in a hurry, I often miss the spacebar and tap the home button at some point in a paragraph. Then suddenly I’m looking at the apps I have open, feeling old, wishing for a physical keyboard.
Not specifically a button but I swear if I'm not looking at my phone playing something for audio on YouTube, the lightest touch anywhere on the screen just so happens to be where the ad is.
A refresh button when I'm moving around on a map with right mouse button (don't ask me why it's made this way, idk) and it resets all my work done on the map.
Almost all the buttons of the YouTube video player in Android, I don’t know if it is a bad design, or I have just stupid fingers, but I always end up touching stuff I don’t want to, even exiting the video sometimes.
I’ve had that in happen to me where I try to click on something and it opens a new page. I go back to the previous page. Aim for the link I want to click… Press it… refreshClick the wrong one again…
Sometimes this can go on for 3 or 4 times. I feel like I’m going insane when it happens. How can something so simple be so complicated
Q in Minecraft. It throws whatever item you’re holding. Sometimes I’m frantic trying to fight something and I end up tossing it my sword. If it’s a zombie, they can pick it up and use it against you.
The back button on my mouse. Suddenly the browser goes back one page and forgets where the video on the other page was. Then I have to seek again to figure it out myself.
If you’re like me and think it’s really stupid that a mouse has a mapped “back” key instead of an extra button, you can easily remap it with x-mouse.
It’s freeware, it’s extremely light weight and efficient, cleanly starts on boot with no obtrusive ads or notifications, and has a whole suite of options including active-window-specific remapping.
I use it almost exclusively to remap the back and forward buttons on my trackball.
I’ve been thinking for like 10 years that phones should have calibration functions specifically for the keyboard.
I have big hands, I am talking about palm a basketball sized hands. This makes it nearly impossible for me to ever hit the letter I think I’m hitting. Surely there’s enough computing power available now to figure this out.
Also, the P and M keys when I mean to hit backspace (I use an AZERTY so the M is at the end of the second row right next to L P and backspace). It’s like aah I want to delete the last character not have more Ps and Ms thrown after it !
