Outside of razer making garbage quality accessories: who the fuck would put that on F12?
When does anyone even press F12? Obviously this thing should go on the escape key.
It is the default screenshot key for Steam, so many use it often for that.
For when you want to "hack" websites.
You helped me figure it out, if you actually press it it will just break in 6 months so this makes it seem higher quality as you constantly cycle it between keyboards
Imagine not using caps lock as escape, this is obviously meant for the '_' snake key.
I press f12 and break a weirdly large amount... They make fantastic macro buttons. Nothing else uses them and you never hit them by accident.
(ctrl-)f12 and f9 are my first picks for macro assignments too
