Power button definitely shouldn't be mixed into the keyboard with the other keys where its easy to hit on accident. On the other hand it probably doesn't do anything unless you hold it down.
- toothbrush 12y agoIf it's like the predecessors, it'll bring up the "Shutdown/Restart/Logout?" dialog on OS X, and fire the ACPI shutdown event on Linux. Of course in Linux this can be remapped (i use it to tell my laptop to suspend), but indeed, top-left is horribly stupid. Top-right i've never banged it by accident, though.
