Does it have function keys and if so, does it require you to simultaneously press a special Fn key in order to use them?

Like so many of these sorts of keyboards, the function row is dual purpose. The primary purpose are for things like locking the device, cut/copy, and audio control. To use them as function keys, you do use a FN key combination.

No, it does not have dedicated keys for what you ask. It has those functions under the F keys which you need to press together with the function key.

Yes it does. And you can change the light brightness on the keyboard. FN+F11 and F12.

There is no diagram nor an instruction manual (directly? they say the extra functions though here), but I can say you the extra functions but not photos because I can't give links here or downloads. FN key - Combination key, like the alt, which makes functions when combined with other key. That is what it is meant, but I can't find any combination key, they work without the FN as in the FN, making the FN not a combination. But if it's there, there should be a combination or something, right? Maybe if a program uses it or something. Media functions buttons - Media functions buttons of previous track, stop, play and next track. Names are what it does. Does not work on safe mode though. My Computer button - A My Computer button, you press it and it opens a Explorer tab with My Computer open, name says it all. Does not work on safe mode though. Media button - A Media button, you press it and it takes you to the media, which would be Windows Media Player. Does not work on safe mode though. Control Volume buttons - Control Volume buttons, they are three buttons, which are Mute, Volume Down, and Volume Up. They do what the button name is. Does not work on safe mode though. Calculator button - A Calculator button, you press it and it opens the Calculator (windows default calculator), name is what it does. Little square green LED indicator in Caps Lock - It's an indicator LED which when you have Caps Lock on, the LED is on, and vice versa, just like the Num Lock, but it's nice to see it on Caps Lock too, and it's just on the button, which you don't have to look elsewere to see if it's on, same with Num Lock.

It does. It is not as convenient as it used to be. At the bottom of the screen (the function keys) should be one called stack (F3). In there is the SWAP button (F2). To get back to the main menu press the TOOL button.

The function keys, Fn-F1 to Fn-F12 only apply to a PC. This keyboard is designed to work with any tablet or PC that supports Bluetooth technology, and that includes Windows 7 and 8.X tablets and tablet PC's, MacBooks, iPads, iPhones, and the variety of Android tablets and phones. Not all keys are applicable necessarily to all supported devices. The unshifted keys that control multimedia playback, screen brightness, etc. probably work with both Android and iOS devices. I have not tested them because I also use a Bluetooth mouse, and I find it simpler to point and click with the mouse on any device over using keyboard shortcut keys.

It has an Fn key. When you connect it to mac, it asks you to enter the keys next to left and right shift keys. Based on that mac automatically detects the keyboard and assigns the alt and option keys at appropriate places.

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.

No. They are just the normal multimedia combo keys (Fn+F Keys) not programmable.

No, I made the mistake and bought it for my mac. Now it can work like I am using it to type right now but all of the F functions don't won't and most of all there is no command key.

The F5 key turns the backlight on and off. I think in order to use the F keys for their usual functions you have to press another key too, like the fn key but I have not tried that yet. Pressing the keys on their own does the things pictured on them instead, like keyboard light, volume and mute, and stuff like that.

If you press the Fn key at the same time they work just fine.(Except for the stop key apparently, but you can just hit the play/pause)

Holding the Fn key then the up or down arrow key emulates the pageup/pagedown keys. There is no dedicated pageup or down key

This is the one without a standalone insert key (I don't know if that means it's new or old). You have to hit the function key for the insert key to work on this model. Hope that helped!

No. This is a standard keyboard 10 Key with minimal extras when used as a standard stand-alone calculator. (Memory/Clear, %, +\-, backspace).

The menu key is supposed to produce the same result as a right click on the mouse would correct ? If so then the FN key does not act like it. Although some manufacturers use FN + [some other key] for the menu key, I haven't been able to reproduce it.
