How to completely disable the shadowplay button?

I have bought my 3rd ROG laptop (G73->G75->G751), and I am really disappointed with the keyboard:

1. I do not like the red backlight with marked WASD buttons. I want to use my laptop for work as well, and this makes me look like "not woring at all" whenewer I am at work.
2. the distance between the keyboard sections is smaller than in the ROG 75, it easier to use the numeric keyboard when it is more away. AND: the num lock button is gone!
3. HOWEVER, THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN: some creative engineer placed extra buttons, including the shadowplay button next to the escape key! Whenever I try to bring up the menu in a game by hitting the most far-left button, the extremely annoying LAUNCH APP window comes up. This is very frustrating - now one has actually tested this before production? I expected more from a sixth genaration laptop.

(I never in my entire life used any of these extra buttons - not in the G73 and also not in the G75 - fortunately, the G75 had only one.)

Even more annoying I have not found a way to get rid ot this "Launch app" feature.

HOW CAN I COMPLETELY DISABLE THE SHADOWPLAY BUTTON?!

Easy fix, uninstall GeForce experience. No shadow play means button is mapped to something that isn't there.


It's not mapped to the GeForce experience, it's mapped to an Asus app that just give you a button to click to start the GeForce Experience.

I think I've hit the button twice since I've had the laptop - what I'd like is a way to map it to start/stop recording or to the "save last 20 minutes" function of SP.

I have another way, idk if it has always been like that, but you can turn off "share" now, like on this picture:
