Is my keyboard broken?

Hi!

Today I noticed that the Windows key on my G910 didn't activate. I downloaded a program to see if it was broken or not and the key didn't respond there either. Is it possible that I just deactivated it somehow (and if so, how do I enable it again)? Or do you guys think it's broken? Luckily I still have a warranty on it but it's just inconvenient to have to contact the vendor for a replacement.

Isn't the key just left to the cable the game lock key? Try pressing that to see if the Windows button than works.

I don't follow you. What key am I supposed to press? When I press the Windows key I get no response at all. It's does not matter if I'm in a game or just on the desktop.

According to the LTT review, this should re enable the Windows key
