Just as the title said, and poll question. I wanted to know if you guys use these key.

Only when they're bound to something different in a writing program or a computer game. Never for any "regular" Windows use.

Yes to all bar:

Insert - Unless I accidentally press it in the 1st place and it goes into overtype mode (some games bound this so use it rarely in these cases).

Scroll lock - Cause I never knew it's use. Jusxt learned now so that may change soon since I use excel a bit

Right mouse button - Knew what key it was (but not the name until now, but it made sense). Don't see any need for me to use it tbh.

Yes to each but the end key, though some are infrequent (the right mouse key and scroll lock) 

 

I work as an accountant, if posting transactions, I use the number pad

Unfortunately I have one of those laptops with no number pad. There is a second keyboard connected by USB that I use just because of the number pad.

Number pad, page up/down only

Insert key, no; numpad, yes (albeit mostly as arrow keys for playing games, and that more in the DOS days than now - oh, also for accessing special characters quickly); home key, sometimes; page up/page down, yes when reading a long document; scroll lock, no; end, same as home; right-click keyboard key, no; Windows key, never on purpose, and I loathe its existence. It serves only as a trap.

Insert key only by accident

I don't use scroll lock. The others are pretty regular. Except maybe insert.
