Change or disable a key on a Vivandi keyboard

The eject key on this popular keyboard for Mac (according to Amazon) logs me out of my Venture 13.7.2. I see that this issue on unnamed keyboards was common some years ago with solutions that haven't worked for me so far or are out of date for my aging but otherwise very reliable system. Anyone have an idea (or two)?

How do I disable the lock key on the Magic keyboard, which is placed (ridiculously) just above the delete key. My external keyboard failed after just two years last week, so I ordered a new one from Apple. On this one, a lock key is at the upper right, just above the delete key. I've already locked my computer 5 times today and am getting frustrated by how much this slows me down. Some questions: For Apple: Who designed this and is a replacement being considered that takes into account normal user behavior? I want to be on the list to be alerted when that replacement is available. Also, do you have a process for listening to user feedback? This appears to have been a significant source of annoyance in 2021, yet I was shipped a new keyboard with the same problem in June 2023. For users: I jammed the end of a twistie under the offending key, which disables it and is a reversible fix. Are there better solutions. I see from a discussion two years ago that there's an application I could download, but I'd prefer not to do that, as the developer appears to want access to all activity.

Unexpected 'Slow Keys' activation on MacBook Air M1 We seldom look at the accessibility function on our 2020 M1 MacBook air 13. Yesterday my keyboard appeared to quit working. I tried it in mail and a number of safari sites but nothing. The first google search item (accessed on my phone) was to reboot the laptop, which I was reluctant to do because I didn't know if I could even reenter my laptop password but I had to try. The keyboard did allow me to enter normally the laptop password but it wouldn't seem to allow typing in my mail or elsewhere. I did notice a small 1 second box on reboots with the words "slow keys". Another google search brought up the accessibility link in which I found slow keys toggled on. So finally to my question - how could that be toggled on inadvertently? I didn't select it on?

WITHOUT knowing what you have tried we have no idea where to tell you to start. I would recommend getting a keyboard from Macsales.com, they specialize in Mac and everything they sell is tested to work.

FWIW, could not find any "Vivandi" keyboard on Amazon.

Not surprising. I've put up with mine for rather awhile. Word must have gotten around. Thanks.
