How to get rid of FN key? Don't want to hold down key every time I want to type certain letters.

Hit the num lock, that should correct the problem. Sorry I took so long to respond.

Go (on your mac) to System Preferences...Keyboard and unchecking the box named "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys"

I'm so glad you asked! You can remove the 1000h(a) keys just by pulling them up. Lift from the front and kind of peel back while wiggling a little. They'll pop off fairly easily. But wait, there's more! If you exchange and remap several keys you 'might' discover the configuration Asus should have used in the first place. Hint, check this forum page for a picture: http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=50250%20or%20http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?pid=399326BTW that forum is full of great information about the 1000h(a) series.Cheers

The toggle switch is the only way to enable the Fn keys. There is no alt-esque Fn key that you find on some laptops. I'm used to have dedicated volume keys above the function keys on my keyboard and it's a small nuisance to click the switch over to use the mute/volume up/down on F2/F3/F4 but it's bearable. It's also much nicer than the caps lock style Fn toggler which is always just confusing.

The apostrophe is the fn key (blue) and letter L ( if youo look under the L you will see the ') not sure waht you mean about mouse pad unless yu mean the indentation on bottom left? You can do ome navigation via the updown left and right keys though

Try the function "FN" key with the "Z" key. On my laptop it switches through one of 3 modes each time I hit function + z: keys lit for 10 seconds after last press, keys always lit, and key lights always off.

Yes, you can invert the Fn keys via the system preference pane (you have to install the driver to get the pref pane)

Yes you can, either by turning it down using the Hot keys on the keyboard itself (F keys, from 100% to 0%) or by installing the SetPoing software and configuring the setting to OFF.

If you do use the function keys and media keys a lot, the Fn toggle switch is a nightmare, but if you're running Windows you can get around this with an AutoHotKey script. I wrote one so that the AppsKey (the right click on keyboard) works like an Fn key on a laptop. Now my toggle switch stays in the white Function mode and I hold down the appskey to use the media functions on the same key.

No, you can't. You have to clear all the keyFob and reset them. Even though they sell it as a hi-tech device, it is poorly made and not so "smart".I am not happy with this purchase.

If I remember correctly, holding the * key for a second or two locks the keypad. It's mentioned in the user manual.

YES. Someone else had posted this someplace when I first bought the keyboard. Here's the hack: SOLUTION: Press the following keys to toggle numlock off: SHIFT FN NUMLOCK DO NOT use a password that has a letter with a numeric letter, because this ONLY shuts off the num-lock after you've entered your computer. Good luck!

just a delete key. there are four arrows at the bottom to move the cursor, also

Push the fn key on left of key board, in conjunction with the letter key with the punctuation mark you wish above it....that should give you the %, &, $ etc.

there is just a delete key that essentially acts as a backspace key too... the keyboard functionality is great! you won't have much difficulty getting use to it or its size

This is almost certainly a stuck function key. I really like this keyboard, but the function keys are definitely its weak spot. They are not the same type of keys as the rest, more like the keys on a calculator. And if you don't hit the key straight on, the edge of it can get stuck really easy.

I'm not sure as I don't use those "non function" keys. Keep in mind, to use the traditional function key you have to hold the activate function key at the bottom left corner. If you don't, you can be in the middle of a game, for example, and suddenly activate a media player. It's mapped in reverse to the traditional keyboard. I'll try to test it tonight.
