You can "disable" keys using an app like AutoIt or AutoHotKey to capture the input and just do nothing with it. Takes a 3 line script.
I've done this for years with my left Windows key, for playing games. I also add the left Alt-Tab when playing certain games, so I don't accidentally tab out.
If you're into custom keyboards you can also configure the entire PCB using things like QMK so any key can be anything you want. It is a significantly more expensive route the AHK though.
It kb has a built in function to disable the windows key. Fuck do I love it.
