		rasz_pl on June 17, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Penny Arcade – Surface Pro 3 update They had plenty of feedback on numerous ms forums of people asking for a way to disable or rebind home button, they ignored all of it. Currently the only way to influence it is to delete registry key [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SurfaceHomeButton] and kill all physical buttons completely.

Stop saying they ignored it.

A) The product hasn't even shipped yet. That may be an option or made into one in an early update.

B) There may be a technical limitation to disabling or rebinding it (e.g. without impacting either other buttons, or the behavior of actual keyboard buttons).
