In all their wisdom Asus put the power button next to the delete button on my BX410 [0]. Too bad I can't pop that button. Setting it to do nothing is the first

  But Windows also has that option: "When I press the power button: [Dropdown]", and one of the options is "Do nothing"...

  i remember a similar issue for desktop computers from ~15 years ago, and a keyboard with a helpful shutdown button. i think it was located a bit to the right of F12. from memory windows just started shutting down and there wasn't a way to interrupt it. pretty funny. not something you'd hit often, but possible to hammer accidentally if playing a full screen game that used a bunch of F1-F12 keys. after hitting this a few times while playing games i levered all of those extra helpful keys out.

    Yes but I don't use Windows on said machine :) Edit: oops meant @netsharc

  I have a Lenovo Flex 10 - the volume rocker is close to the power button and feels the same. Accidentally leave the volume on full, open a youtube video or independent article, accidentally turn off the device. Wake our baby either with the noise or my subsequent swearing at the useless machine.
