Thanks for your help. Unfortunately I still am having no success. I tried "Keytweak" it seemed to work - I hit "apply" and restarted the computer but nothing had changed. I tried sharpkeys and am unable to get it to work - get an error message. I tried downloading .NET framework (2.0) and get an error message when I try to install it. I have a brand new ASUS eee PC 1000HA. I am wondering why I am having such a difficult time with this. Any other suggestions??thanks,John Helm

Hi John & PeggyAccording to Randy's FAQ site for Sharpkeys ( http://www.randyrants.com/sharpkeys/faq.htm ) you need to be running the most recent version of .NET framework (2.0). I went to Microsoft's website and found the download page for you here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&displaylang;=en . If downloading the framework from Microsoft doesn't solve your problem I'd suggest firing an e-mail off to Randy. He's probably run into this before.Another option would be to try a similar program called "Keytweak". It does the same thing as Sharpkeys.

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

I tried using "sharpkeys" and wasn't successful. I got a question about microsoft N.E.T. Any suggestions about using this program. Thanks. John Helm

I downloaded all mine using Mozilla with no problem. Try getting Sharpkeys from this address http://www.randyrants.com/2008/12/sharpkeys_30.html if you haven't. Also the .net framework from this site http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/default.aspx . I had no trouble with these two.Also, don't forget that when you swap the keys you'll have one command to swap 'up' with 'shift' and another command to swap 'shift' with 'up'. I kept messing that up initially.

Is there a way to get the actual keys off the keyboard without breaking them to swap them out so they match once I change the values?

That's great! Doesn't solve all my problems though, since I changed my Caps Lock to Delete. :-)

"a scroll feature?" Sort of . . . The keyboard has four directional keys under the touchpad that function as Up, Down, Left, and Right Arrow keys. Holding down the Fn key with the Up key gives PageUp, with the Down key gives PageDown, with the Left key gives Home, and with the Right key gives End. Holding them down causes auto-repeat. If your application recognizes those keys for scrolling you are in luck. Many applications recognize Ctrl-Home and Ctrl-End. Alas, they are unavailable. One would think one could use Fn-Ctrl-Left for Home and Fn-Ctrl-Right for End, but Fn-Ctrl together yields the Win (Meta or Logo) key, thus one gets Win-Left and Win-Right instead. "a way to program keyboard shortcuts or hot keys?" Yes, if your application assigns (or can reassign) keys or Alt, Ctrl, and Shift key combinations.

I'm in the same boat. I want to replace my n52 for one with more keys, but I rely on the D-pad for WASD. So far I don't see the Orbweaver as being a good in that regard. I wonder if they changed it with the new one that just came out with their own green keys.

Yes, you hold down the Fn key and hit NumLock. The Fn key is next to the Windows key which is by the ALT key and the spacebar. The Fn key is in BLUE and controls all the keys with blue color such as the NumLock. You should be able to enter your password then. This has happened to me too. Hope this helps.

Ctrl, Win, and Alt.The Fn keys are probably for the media controls on the S ProThe Ultimate, as far as I know, has not received an update for media keys.

I can't find any info on keyboard option for Asus ME 173X. I have a Asus memo pad 173x, can't find any external keyboard to go with it.

I am not a gamer or power user. There are 6 profiles and you can program any button to go to a specific profile to jump between setups. I use the MACRO function to define a single key for each button, in most cases. You can also make any button a fire key, 3 5 or user defined number of times. You can set up complex key combinations as macros, as well as single keys. Good luck, I can't imagine not being able to do any function you want from the various buttons.

Rafael, I am a total Asus fan but I had to return the first laptop I ordered because the key board wasn't lit up and the keys didn't work properly (particularly the cap key). After researching this further I found that Asus is having some quality control issues on this and similar current models and and that they had numerous people complaining about any number of items. My life update wasn't working, some of the drivers weren't working so I returned mine to Amazon (within the 30 days period) and got a replacement. No issues whatsoever with the replacement laptop. If you cannot return the laptop to Amazon I urge you to get this thing fixed by Asus under the warranty ASAP. Sorry, wish I had better news.

The delete key is where the photo shows the enter key below the insert key. I wonder why these are doctored photos or computer generated. Why not just take a photo? The keyboard is beautiful.

Yes, there are software programs such as 'keytweak' that allow you to re-map your keys. I frequently re-map home/end & page up/down so that home and end can be pressed without using the FN key

The Fn key located at the bottom left, works like a shift key for the symbols in blue. Beyond that I cant help. I havent had any issues with mine but have only had it a few months.

mine is different from the pictures. smaller enter button,keys like pgdn, pgup, home, end, del and right arrow are in the same column.speakers are in the front of the laptop.

Yes all of the home/end. Arrow keys, etc are on the number pad, you have to press nmu lock to switch them. And the F keys require no activation that I've noticed, I'm always able to use them without any other key toggling them.

The shortcut keys should be the same as a PC except the apple key which is like the windows icon key on a pc. Also this keyboard has an eject key for mac where a normal board does not. That being said... ctr + C key is the shortcut for copy ctr + V is paste. Hold the ctr key + left click items you want to select for multiple things or to save time with many items ctr + A is select all. Then hold ctr + items to deselect. When all the items are blued right click on them and a menu will pop out with choices like copy and paste etc etc. Google key board short cuts and there are many many more too many for me to list here.

Asus says no but ive herd that it does, if you have them both in hand then try to see if they fit with out wedging, if you hear the click then cool. Bit the programing is going to be off somewhere weather you notice tht or not.
