“Can multimedia keys be turned off? Can function keys F1-F12 be accessed without using another key? (The keyboard which came with my computer has media keys which forces you to use "fn" to access the F1-F12 keys!)”

To use the enhanced media functions (orange icons) to control your music, you DO have to press the FN key and the F-Key you want to use simultaneously. However, in the software settings, you can invert the FN mode if you prefer to access directly the enhanced functions without having to press the FN key. You can download the Setpoint software from Logitech. However, the volume control keys are separate keys over to the top right. I use these a lot to immediately mute sound if I get a call while listening to music. The f-keys are slightly smaller than the other keys but there is enough space between them that there is no problem accidentally hitting them. You will love this keyboard but I do suggest spending less than $20 to get one of the custom keyboard covers by Viziflex Seels for it. I trashed 2 of these keyboards by spilling fluid before I learned my lesson. At first you will think the cover is a piece of garbage but within a few days it completely molds itself to the keys and typing is great. Also know that if one of the keys is removed it is almost impossible to put it back on. Another reason for the cover so that trash does not get under the keys. With the cover I can wipe it down with water and not worry about damaging the keyboard. I would not suggest using a cleaner or alcohol on the cover because it is made of latex so it might make it stretch.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
