    As you can see (if this comes out okay) it's a bit of a stretch for something that I will need to use the whole time.
    Ahhh!!! That's just lousy.
    Almost all other keyboards have a menu key(what it's actually called) because most operating systems have menus(RCmenus).

    It depends on which model keyboard you have. I have a Logitech wireless and a Logitech Gaming Keyboard. My wireless keyboard is the same as yours. My gaming keyboard has no FN keys and the menu key is like shown in @Cliff S picture.

    Here is the keyboard shortcut:
    SHIFT+F10 Display the shortcut menu for the selected item.




    A bit more:
    SHIFT+F10 Display the shortcut menu for the selected item.
    ALT+SPACEBAR Display the System menu for the active window.
    CTRL+ESC Display the Start menu.
    ALT+Underlined letter in a menu name Display the corresponding menu.

    Cliff, he stated earlier that Shift+F10 didn't work on his KB either. I googled Logitech ML700 and got nothing except his post above but the Logitech MK700 was prominently mentioned and it has the Menu key as described. Go figure!

    Was that a typo?! It's MK not ML. Full name on the back: "MK700/MK710"

    And yes, just to confirm Shift+F10 has no effect.

    PS I am still hoping that I can launch something in Windows that calls the current mouse right-click menu. No?

    No, it wasn't a typo, your first post clearly states ML700. If it is MK700, the online picture I got clearly showed the Menu key where your KB picture has the FN key.

    EDIT: Just checked again and MK700 and MK710 that I found this time clearly shows the FN key where the rest of us have a Menu key.

    Apologies all - my bad. OK, to avoid confusion I have now editing my 1st post to correct my type. Thanks for clearing that up, cbwilsha. In fact I have two keyboard but they are both the same.

    I'm still hoping to re-map the keyboard with Setpoint, but although you can set up hotkeys involving control, alt and shift it doesn't seem to work for the FN key, and (fwiw) you can't remap the "F key settings" for the "Print Screen" button either.

    As Cliff says it really is a lousy design!

    Any more suggestions?

    I'm now beginning to think the only solution would be to buy a new keyboard. (!)

    This does seem a little extreme being as there's not much else wrong with it....

    ...Except that all the lettering keeps coming off so I have resorted to re-painting the letters back on using white paint/typex and then applying a layer of nail varnish. Unfortunately I have two keyboards like this however so I would need to buy two of them!

    You could try using AutoHotKey to remap a key or key combination to a Right Click. Note that it can't remap the FN key either, I've tried

    For two key right click shortcut it could be something like Ctrl+/
    Code:
    ^/::Send, {Click right}
    Or for one key right click shortcut it could be something like the Insert key
    Code:
    Insert::Send, {Click right}
    See the AutoHotKey help for more options

    Good luck :)
