I use the other ones up there, just not those 3.

up there on my keyboard are EJECT 1, EJECT 2, Burn DVD/Cd, PREV, PLAY/pause, NEXT, STOP , volume, and mute wich i use quite frequently

Power, Sleep, and Wake Up buttons. They never work on any computer that I have seen with those buttons on the keyboard. Guess it requires programming, but yea I think they are useless.

I say Pause/Break, because pressing it does notinhg at all, it could at least freeze my PC to show somekind of sign that it has been pressed, in fact, is it even a button, is it just a piece of plastic that ppresses, but no elecctrical things underneath, anyone care to disect a keyboard to answer my question

The Right Click key on my keyboard is the one I absolutely hate. Not sure if all keyboards have this key but it's located to the left of the right Ctrl. This keyboard goes (Ctrl - Windows Start - Alt - Space key - Alt Gr - Windows Start - RIGHT CLICK- Ctrl), keys bloody useless. In all the time I have used this keyboard I think the only time I have ever pressed it was right now to make sure that it did actually do something.

if you press windows and pause/break it handily goes to system properties in windows. im gonna go with f8 as the most useless key.
