    Microsoft. What were you thinking. What made you think this was a good idea? Seriously, it's the most backwards way of working I have ever seen, literally in my entire life. Every other app I recall ever using, uses the arrow keys to scroll down the page. Not everyone has a mouse with a scroll wheel, so why then, when I try to scroll down in the settings on Windows, it automatically has one of the settings boxes clicked, and just scrolls down in that instead. This is so backwards. I've never seen this anywhere in my life, so why do you just have to be different. The most notable of the setting

    Arrow Keys

    Just purchase new Samsung Galaxy Flex Alpha and when I press the arrow keys the go to the bottom of the page for both excel, word and when trying to type in the web address bar and suggestions come up it scrolls the web page instead of the suggestions. Is
    the computer faulty or a setting I can change?

    down arrow key stopped working

    My razor lycosa down arrow key decided to not respond at some point today. The other ones work and so does the numpad arrow if i turn off the numlock. Sounds like its just broken and im screwed, but any suggestions?

    TPU review scroll bar

    I was wondering if there was any specific reason the buttons to scroll down the list of reviews was stuck in the bottom left-hand corner? Whenever I want to read reviews, I always have to move my cursor and aim it at a small arrow that scrolls the reviews... I'd suggest that instead of making the arrows small and in a corner, it would be better placed to the sides of the review bar.

    Something like this (yes, I know it's crappy but it took 5min to make):
