What's this key for?

Got a new keyboard recently and it has a strange key that is not on my other keyboards. Does anyone know what this is for?

Have you tried to use it?

It's a menu key.

Yes, I have tried to use it by itself and in conjunction with the Shift key, the Fn key, the Alt key and the Ctrl key. Just doesn't do anything. And there seem to be no proprietary drivers for this model on the manufacturer's website. The brand is Red Dragon and it's an inexpensive mechanical keyboard I got on Amazon. I posed this question on Amazon and got the same response from another customer as you gave but it doesn't work for me.

Anyway, if it's just for context menus I find it easier to use the mouse.

Yeah basically just pops up context/right click menus. Maybe need a driver?

I have that button on a Razer KB I use and it does work just as Janus said as a right-click.
