So I have a Logitech YSU-61 (old I know) keyboard which as a strange key on it. Up until earlier (whilst attempting to do some work), I noticed this key between the right windows button and the right control button. I don't have a picture so I'll try descrbing it. It looks a bit like a list with a cursor pointing to, and highlighting, the second option. If I press it, SOMETIMES, something will happen but it appears useless- does anyone have a use for it or even know what its is supposed to do?

Thanks in advance
