A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I’ve never experienced that! I have a bunch of K400s I’ve built up over the years for all the different computers we have around the house. No Cortana ever happens, but all of all of our machines are Windows 10, Linux, or Mac, so it might be a windows 11 thing?
It's Windows 10 where I've seen that actually. Also can cause weirdness on Linux because it is emulating key presses to make the shortcut happen. Maybe it's because mine is actually a K400r.
Oh that’s gotta be it, I have the regular k400 for all of mine. Have you tried fn+right click? Fn+left click turns on/off tap to click on all k400s, apparently you can disable gestures on the k400r with fn+right?
No way, I'll have to try that. Guess I shouldn't have thrown out the manual 13 years ago!
I discovered the tap-to-click toggle accidentally, it was driving my partner and myself insane that seemingly randomly, the keyboard would decide to turn it on and off. And it’s keyboard-specific instead of computer-specific, so it doesn’t need to be adjusted on each machine if you use the same keyboard on multiple machines!
