where is the windows key on logitech k850 keyboard null

Yes. It is not obvious though. The key is in the usual spot but it says "Start" instead of the windows symbol. It is also a Function key so depending on your Fn Lock setting the key might be in another mode.

It is extremely annoying that Logitech doesn't provide more details on how to use the keys with dual purpose, separated by a vertical line. opt | start cmd | alt "Start" is the Windows Command key - even though the key next to it shows the Win-Key logo with the letters 'cmd' Go Figure opt -- anybody figure out what this key does and how to enable it? cmd -- Another mystery, not documented in the K860 manual (such as it is)

Why did they fix something that wasn’t broken

I got the same keyboard and struggled to figure out what keys to press to open a new window. On this keyboard, you need to press "start" and "E" keys to open a new window.

The small labels on the keyboard are activated via the fn key (bottom left). Pressing fn + Esc serves like constantly holding down fn; fn + Esc again to go back to normal. Holding down the fn key and pressing F6, for example, will start or stop a YouTube video. Holding down the fn key and pressing Insert, for example, activates that camera icon which is the print screen key. As someone remarked, pressing the print screen key — here or on other Windows keyboards — copies the entire display to the clipboard, but leaves it there for you to do something with it. Alt-PrtSc copies the active window, but again leaves it in the clipboard for you to do something with. WindowsKey-PrtSc copies the entire screen and saves it to your Screenshots folder (as png or jpg), typically dimming your screen for an instant when it does. Note: On my K850 keyboard the "Windows Logo" key is not marked with a Windows logo but rather as [start|alt opt]. On the K850 keyboard, here are the keystrokes for these functions: PrtSc: fn + Insert Alt-PrtSc: fn + alt + Insert Windows-PrtSc: [start|alt opt] + fn + Insert And presumably a few others on the same pattern…

My 580 IS AS FOLLOWS" Left hand side: CTRL - FN - START/OPT - ALT/CMD So which one do you click for the Windows Keys Thanks kiwi

The key for windows start is on top of the left shift key. :)
