What's a button you hate tapping or clicking accidentally?

Steam Big Picture mode.

Its right there right next to large mode, which you need to use to browse the store.

and every time, I hit big picture mode instead.

and have to sit through the stupid animation, then try to remember how to put it back in regular mode.

and I dont understand why they cant give us an option to disable big picture mode. Its only useful for a niche minority of users, let them have it without becoming a headache for the rest of us.

and make steam remember fucking window sizes and positions while you’'re at it, fucking valve. every goddamn steam update just makes the performance and usability worse.

numlock. i never use my numpad as anything but a way to type in 2FA codes, and when nothing happens, i get really confused.

My oven has capacitive touch buttons for the clock and timer. They’re really sensitive, and they sometimes trigger even for skin underneath clothing. So sometines when I lean against it while using the stove top, I accidentally set a timer with my penis.

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 hate it with a passion when my phone wakes up the screen and starts pressing random buttons on the media player on hot summer days when I start sweating. I have to turn the phone around in my pocket but I’m always conscious about bumping into anything destroying the screen

The share button on a porn site.

You'd think the chance of accidentally clicking Close on a browser tab would be fairly low, right? Not low enough.

I've also forgotten which application had focus and terminated it, which is a great way to feel like a fucking idiot.

Undo closed tab is Ctrl + Shift + T in most browsers!

Doesn't always prevent Consequences - youtube is hilariously bad at remembering where you actually were in a video, for example.

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.

Discord voice call just tap the name and tap the call button once in a blue moon.

I’m always so scared about this after having it happen exactly once. Even worse when you hit video call.

When I’m playing Minecraft and the youngest cat wants attention, she always steps on my keyboard number pad and disables my mini-map. 😒

The Insert key in a keyboard. I hit it all the time when I use End, Home, or Delete. I finally pulled the button from my keyboard.

The „unmute“ button on redgif when it then just takes me to redgif itself.

The button on my stylus. I’m trying to draw and this menu pops up.

For me, it’s any button my dog hits when he steps on my PS5 controller while I’m watching TV. ANY button.

When I got my mouse, it was so sensitive that I couldn’t rest my pointer finger lest I accidentally click. Had to take the mouse apart and put some rubber pieces under it to reduce the sensitivity. Razer Deathadder V2. Works amazingly well after that mod.

Also I use the MessagEase keyboard on my phone and I’m constantly hitting spacebar when I meant to hit ‘E’.
