And let all the crumbs fall on your face?! No thanks.

I don't know what that key's official name is, but it gives you the same function as the right mouse button.
Without that key, you can hit shift+F10 for the same effect, but I think the dedicated key is easier. And also, those old keyboards without Windows and right-click keys look like they're missing buttons!

Your life, my life, your children's life. Certainly not the keyboard's life, it will outlive all of us and still work when the sentient roaches take over the world.
Now granted, it's completely not what you're looking for - it's horribly loud, it has no extraneous keys (you don't miss the right-click and windows keys, believe me), and it's fairly pricey... but it's the only keyboard for me. I have a small stockpile of them in case I ever decide to have multiple computers running again in my house, and I would never part with them. Something about using a keyboard that's almost as old as I am (I think the one I use primarily is from 87? I'm from 82)
Truly though, it's a thing of beauty. I used to wear out 10 dollar keyboards about every 18 months until I started typing on Model M's. Now I could bludgeon an intruder to death with my keyboard and still type up his obituary.
