Asus key board: Is there a way to change that, for example to customize one of the user-defined "instant" keys for this task?

Tintin, Look for a utility called "Sharpkeys". It's a simple to use freebie that will do what you're looking for. What the program does is reassign registry values for the keys you choose. You can make practically any key on the keyboard do what you want by simply pressing the key you want to remap then either choose from a list or press a corresponding key that you want to change to. Save the change and you're good to go. The utility is used by a lot of Eee owners to remap the 'up' arrow key so it becomes a 'shift' key (negating that long reach to the right for the actual shift key). If there's going to be a downside it's that you'll lose the down scroll that the key is currently mapped for (without pressing the Fn key). Cheers

Does this keyboard have keys for Microsort Word like ctrl-B for bold-face type, etc.?

You can *completely* customize which keys are lit at any given time, and have multiple saved profiles.

Good evening Mick;I was not concerned about a media key on the keyboard and pretty much knew that when I bought it. My keyboars did not have any paper work with it or instructions. The keyboard serves my needs just fine with my big fingers and the touch is very good. I also noted that none of the keys are assignable in other words there are no spares to assign a medial function to. I am sorry but that is what I have found out about it but still like it

When I plugged mine in, I got a "set up your keyboard" screen which showed some things. I THINK there was a link or something there to get more info. If you go into devices and hardware, right-click on the picture of the keyboard and then go to Keyboard Settings, that will get you into the setup stuff. Just keep clicking on the categories and you should find what you want.

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 keys cannot be reassigned via the keyboard. Maybe there is some software available that will remap.

Page 3-13 of the user manual (located on the desktop) shows a picture of the function button + another key to adjust keyboard lighting but I can't find the key shown in the picture on my key board.

No, but just get a keycap puller and transfer the keys to the UK layout and remap the keys to the UK layout.

Don't think so as the Keyboard layout is different.There are NO Function Keys at the top.

Not that I am aware of. It shows up in Device Manager as an HID keyboard device and uses a Microsoft driver. I took a quick look and cannot see where you'd be able to remap the keyboard to the USB input device. However, turn off the num-lock (upper left key) and the pad acts as your arrow keys would. I've used it in Excel a few times and found it faster to switch modes and operate from the pad than from both the keyboard and pad.

I couldn't. No Alt key on PERIPAD. Using a laptop Alt key and PERIPAD to enter 163 did nothing.

Even though the profiles are really out of date, you can still go in and set them up any way you want. So every key is configurable for whatever you want. Just set up the profiles and make sure to select the right one before going in to your application. I've had my keyboard for a couple months now and have barely scratched the surface of the configuration options.

It works in the BIOS so it acts as the base level acting as a physical keyboard so yes. I don't know if there is software for it.

Yes. Use the Fn key in combo with the arrow keys. <Fn + Left> = Home<Fn + Right> = End<Fn + Up> = Page Up<Fn + Down> = Page Down...good question. I more-or-less stumbled across that lol (actually, I think it's pretty standard for smaller laptops with keyboards sans those keys, but I'd long ago forgotten).

Quick answer : NO....I don't like that Asus keyboard so I use old Dell's one...I also DO NOT like that button to turn unit on - wonder if other buyers don't have a problem with pushing in ? (click it in ?)...Unit IMHO is worth to be really recommended - I like it ...regards
