Ok, so the title is more of an attention grabber.

I yanked off those pesky Windows and Menu buttons of my keyboard but I need to block the hole so crumbs/hair doesn't fall in it in great amounts. How would I do this without making the process irreversable? (I have a problem with irreversable damage to my stuff)

Small patches of Duct Tape.

It does EVERYTHING

Put them back on?

Why don't you just scratch the logos off? Or paste labels to cover them?

Ignoring them also works.

Could work...but masking tape would probably be better for ripping it off later.

I play games where it is hardly advantagious to smack the Start button key and be thrown to the desktop. I did take them off for a reason.

The little window on the key doesn't bother me...the key does.

Or just take my stragegy: pop the buggers off, put'em in the junk bin, and ignore the holes. That is what I did, no problems at all, and I did this 3 years ago.

Then find a tool to remap your keys when you're playing a game rather than ripping apart your keyboard.

That's what I've been doing, I was just afraid too much dirt would get in...you're probably right, though.

I also hate the keys with a vengence. They're always in the way.

Buy a can of compressed air just in case.

I believe you can buy dummy keys, that sit where the key should, but don't actualy connect with the sensor on the keyboard when you press them...

Not sure where you'd get them from though

I have a Microsoft Natural Pro keyboard, so I can use the Intellitype software to disable those keys.
