Is there a button on the keyboard that does nothing?

Is there a button on the keyboard that does nothing? I'm trying to bind a button on my mouse to one on my keyboard, but the one on my keyboard needs to do nothing except serve as my Ventrilo hotkey. For some weird reason I can't bind things like Shift (unless its a Shift + key kind of thing).

CAPS LOCK

Depends on your keyboard. Usually the medium to high F-keys (F13–F16 on my older Apple keyboard) aren't used for much. On Windows keyboards, scroll lock isn't used much. Is there not a way to set Ventrilo to use a mouse button rather than a key?

"I used ~ (which is next to the 1 on my QWERTY board) and it worked fine for Ventrillo while playing World of Warcraft.

However the only annoyance is typing while having to click that button :P You will erase selected text or just have to live with clicking that isn't editable."

I have a keyboard with several "extra" keys I don't actually use or want, so I'd remap my "Email" or "power off" key to the other purpose.

Alt Gr is always the first to go on my set ups, usually remapped to standard Alt.
