I don't see an FN key. How do you make the F1 through F12 work with their alternative key assignments?

This may be incorrect, but the toggle on the top-right was labelled as Fn-lock in several pictures.

I just got mine, it appears it is only the slider toggle in the upper right that does that. Shame, that is a real annoyance to have to choose between windows 8 function keys or ones you use while programming, like f5 to refresh your browser or launch you app in debug mode. seems like alt or ctrl should be able to do that.

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.

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.

There is no Fn key as there are no alternate function keys. So just ctrl win alt.

You can push the fn button next to the windows button then push either f11 or f12 one is up and the other is down

Yes. They are the superscript "function" keys above the regular number keys. Basically, you have to press fn+1 for F1, etc.

If the "letter" keys aren't working, the device is possibly defective, however if you mean "top row" as in the Function (F1, F2, etc.) Keys, then you'll need to first press & hold the "Fn" key (lower left in K/B), then press the desired F# key (top row).

it's 2 of the function keys along the top row. hold down "fn" key at the bottom and press and release each function key until you find the right one for your computer

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!

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.

I solved a similar problem by going (on my mac) to System Preferences...Keyboard and unchecking the box named "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys"

My techie son did it for me.As soon as you hit the "on" start TAPPING,don't hold the F2 or F1 I don't remember which it was.Good luck.

no you can count your key's not the F key's. Top row is 1-10 so if it say's key 3 you just countin 3 key's and you got it

suggestions would include trying the function keys, ctrl +Num and Fn +Num. I have no problems. Did you check online on the eHow and others? Geek type computer sites for others with this keyboard? Good luck.

Sorry, I don't know. I don't even remember how I figured out what keys would work in my car. Good Luck.

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

Yes! The F-keys all have functions activated with the "fn" key. F10 and F11 are used for dimming and brightening the keyboard backlight, and one of the steps is "off."

Mine works great. What keys do not work? If you are trying to use the 2nd blue functions on the keyboard you need to push the blue fn button first. If this isn't the problem then I suggest contacting the manufacturer. You may have gotten a defective one.

No. This keyboard does not have an "fn" key. However it has 4 keys on its numerical keypad for controlling the volume and ejecting the CD.
