Name the most annoying key on the keyboard.

Correct!
It's "Insert" - who actually uses that key?!
.
.
Now name the second most annoying key on the keyboard.

Not sure what you came up with, but it's definitely the Caps Lock key.
.
Do you ever accidentally fumble your keyboard and start typing with the Caps Lock enabled? It drove Glen crazy so he walked us through building an alarm that goes off while the caps key is enabled.
This project uses a PIC16F1459 USB microcontroller to monitor the USB output report from a PC. This report contains the CAPS LOCK status (ON/OFF). When CAPS LOCK is enabled, the PIC turns on an annoying buzzer. Watch this video as we walk through the schematic, solder it together, and see if Daniel's surface mount soldering skills are worth their salt (spoiler: it's iffy).
