@Jay-o-Way It seems an OEM-specific one.

@Jay-o-Way I also have this problem. In Japan, VK242 is usually used for Katakana/Hiragana/Romaji key. It relates to Japanese IME.

Katakana/Hiragana/ Romaji key on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_input_keys#Katakana/Hiragana/R%C5%8Dmaji

The pink circle is Katakana/Hiragana/Romaji key in the Japanese 109 keyboard.
