Disabling advertising button on keyboard
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
So I have this Chinese wireless keyboard, which has an advertising key, in place of the right alt button. It looks like this:
.
The advertising key when pressed, opens JD.com, a Chinese e-commerce site. I tried using SharpKeys to disable the key.
Unfortunately, the ad key is mapped to the left windows button (E0_5B), see
The actual left windows button is mapped to this as well, which leaves me confused.
How do I disable this key on my keyboard? (I'm running Windows 8.1)
EDIT:
The command issued by the button is:
Windows + R (to open "Run"), followed by the URL, JD.com
windows-8.1 keyboard

It might be sending a set of keystrokes, and the first one is the windows key.

It appears to be that way, the command issued actually is: Win + R (open run), and enter the URL, JD.com.

Tried them, the key just shows up as Win+R and not the whole command that is issued, it doesn't appear to disable the key as such.

This almost certainly hardware, Reptilian is right. I dabble in custom keyboards, and unless using a software able to intercept a full macro, your best best is to open the keyboard, and insert a piece of tape between the membrane and the PCB.
Here is a link to a keyboard repair video, where you can clearly see the rubber membrane removed, and the PCB underneath https://youtu.be/mC5P7IGR8-M?t=187
This should be easy to do, don't worry :)

I figured the easiest solution would be to physically disable the key. I've removed the button and taped it over. But, there has to be a way to edit the keymappings right? I believe the in-built driver that came along with the device is causing the problem.

Your keyboard is likely using the standard HID driver, but it is its firmware you want to modify. Unfortunately, I don't think they put a reprogrammable firmware in a promo keyboard. Even if, I have no clue on how to reprogram it.
