How can I get Function keys (like F8) into the programmable buttons? I see them in the ini file, but not in the Properties window.

After finding the .ini file you mentioned and playing with it for about an hour, I had no success in finding a way to map regular keyboard keys to any of the side buttons. I asked Sharkk support if there was a way and they said no. I'm hoping that maybe in a driver update later that they might since their other mice (I also have their wired gaming mouse) all have the capability. Since I really wanted that functionality on my own mouse, I found a workaround that makes me happy: A Windows program called X-Mouse Button Control by highrez . co . uk. It allows you to program simulated key presses on Mouse Buttons 4 and 5. I have Simulated Key set to {F12} Option 3 During (press on down, release on up). Works like a charm.

Yes, they are on the F keys. You'll have to use the FN + the appropriate F key to use them.

Helen, As far as I recall the only instructions were something (I forget what) that said the switch to the right of the function keys (blue or white) is to switch in and out of Windows 8 functionality. Otherwise, there was a blue sticker on the keyboard to tell you how to change the left half of the space bar to backspace. That's all there was and all I needed. The tiny print at the bottom of several keys are keyboard shortcuts, i.e. alternatives to mousing around, which have been common to windows software for many years. Otherwise it is the same as any other keyboard as far as I know. There is a compartment on the bottom for the battery also, but that should be no problem.

There are a total of 7 programmable buttons: two on the left (where the thumb rests), two on the right (next to pinky), left click, right click, and the scroll wheel itself. There is a eigth button but this is used to switch between your pre-programmed DPI settings and not for use as a interface button.Steel Series Engine: http://steelseries.com/us/support/downloads

Its been driving me crazy! But I've been sitting here mashing buttons and found that if you press cmd+7 it brings up the task manager in windows. :))) I just found about twenty more hidden key functions. Seriously, get bored and you'll figure out how cool this little keyboard is!

It depends on your computer. Most times, it's the F10 key but a search of your computer would be best as mine is F9 or F1

Just download and install the software from Logitech website. Use it to change the programming of the buttons...

yes.. F7 and F8 keys have volume icons. the thing about this keyboard is you can custom program your own configurations.. great for gaming

As far as I can tell, you can only program them for programs that let you change button configs. You have to go into the button config of the program and set each of the buttons to what you want.

Susie, I looked on my keyboard but I don't see any buttons for email or the web. The only ones it has are the calculator and volume control buttons.

The right Windows key is there per normal. In place of the left Windows key is an FN button. Responsive: The keyboard is kind of stiff.

No, there was no documentation. Just plug in the keyboard and it works. The shortcut buttons are auto assigned.

Hold down the Fn key (lower left of the keypad) and at the same time press the"L" key. You shoud see the " ' "

I'm pretty sure you can only program what the buttons do in game within the game options. As far as the desktop goes, the two side buttons go back and forward (surfing the web), the top buttons change the sensitivity of the mouse, left and right click, scroll etc.

It has a zoom in and a zoom out key. They are located above the F11 and F12 keys. Hope this helps.

If you press the star key on the top of the keyboard below the silver 3 key you may find some info. The 5 silver keys 1-5 are programmable, I believe. The sliding black key between letters G and H enlarges or shrinks items on the screen. The others that have icons on them are straight forward. I don't know what the silver arrows by the wrist rest do. I was very unhappy that it came without a manual.
