Windows 10: Disabling the ROG key on ASUS laptop keyboard

Hello all. I hope you're having a lovely day. I have a problem with my laptop keyboard which neither Google searches nor ASUS customer support were able to resolve. I'm typing with an external keyboard right now, which points to the fact that it's not a software issue, though I was able to temporarily (~48 hrs) solve the issue by un- and reinstalling my keyboard drivers. I also did a couple of hard resets which I think didn't do anything. Around 80% of the time when I press any of the following keys, the key as well as the symbol / is triggered: /afjlkd6 (That's /afjlk;d6 on an English keyboard.) So I will e.g. type a and get a/ instead. When I press /, I never get an additional /, however. Additionally, around 15% of the time when I press ANY of those keys, ALL of them are triggered in the order they appear above. Whatever key I pressed is the one that appears first, after which all of the others follow. So when I press a, I get a/fjlkd6; when I press d, I get d/afjlk6. After a bit of experimenting, I figured out that all of this is probably caused via the ROG key. This is a special key that is next to the / key on keyboards of the ROG series of ASUS gaming laptops. You can see it in the first five seconds of this video: How to re-bind the ASUS RoG Game Key to "End" - YouTube When I push this key, it opens the ROG gaming center (which is its dedicated function) and inputs a / (which it is NOT supposed to do) and sometimes the full /afjlkd6 sequence of symbols. Any of the keys included in this sequence also trigger the ROG key. So what I think is happening is that those keys trigger the ROG key, which in turn triggers the / key and sometimes all of the others. Therefore, I would like to disable that key. I tried a neat little program called KeyTweak, which lets you very easily disable keys on your keyboard, but it can't disable keys which aren't found on a regular keyboard (such as the ROG key). So, my question: How can I disable this key? I'd greatly appreciate any help. Thanks and much love, noodl

Disabling the ROG key on ASUS laptop keyboard

Hello all. I hope you're having a lovely day.

I also did a couple of hard resets which I think didn't do anything.

Around 80% of the time when I press any of the following keys, the key as well as the symbol / is triggered: /afjlköd6 (That's /afjlk;d6 on an English keyboard.)
So I will e.g. type a and get a/ instead.
When I press /, I never get an additional /, however.

Additionally, around 15% of the time when I press ANY of those keys, ALL of them are triggered in the order they appear above. Whatever key I pressed is the one that appears first, after which all of the others follow. So when I press a, I get a/fjlköd6; when I press d, I get d/afjlkö6.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I should have mentioned that "disabling" the key this way only causes it to not open the ROG gaming center, but its input is still very much registered (it causes a "ROG Key is disabled" notification).

I want to entirely deactivate the key, as if it weren't there.
