For both keyboards, what the file does is to allow users to use hotkeys on their keyboard, specifically to launch computer processes or programs such as launching your Web browser. Disabling the file will not compromise normal use of the keyboard in any way, but the user will no longer be able to utilize the hotkey functions. However, there have been recommendations by users and tech review sites, to disable the file because it slows down the boot-up process.
