If they can make it so if you press F1 it actually does F1 without any BS software then I’m sold. I love my Logitech K400 but if I press F2 and not FN + F2 and miss getting into the bios one more time I’m going to commit a crime.
Bluetooth + dongle + wired? Hell yes. This is perfect for tinkering with computers, and actually using it.
I love this because I have the opposite problem. I hardly ever use the Fn keys and my old laptop had them as the “default” and I had to press an extra key to change the volume or brightness which annoyed the heck out of me
I feel for the devs/engineers who try to appease everyone
Yeah, this keyboard has it too. But not all devices remember. And that’s the problem. Sometimes it’s software on the PC that controls it, other times it lives in the keyboaed. But some devices are stupid and will forget when you disconnect/change devices.
I’ve got a K400 too which I bought like 13 years ago and have gotten a ton of use out of. It’s still going strong, even after my wife spilled tomato soup on it, but my real issue with it is that damn hard-coded Cortana shortcut that launches when you swipe the trackpad from the edge. Sure wish I could disable that.
I’ve never experienced that! I have a bunch of K400s I’ve built up over the years for all the different computers we have around the house. No Cortana ever happens, but all of all of our machines are Windows 10, Linux, or Mac, so it might be a windows 11 thing?

I hate my logitech k400, it’s feels like a sheet of paper blocks the signal.

I mean, the solution is pretty simple, here: remove both function and media, etc. keys. That way, no extra keys to press (in fact, no keys, at all).
This design stuff’s a cakewalk~
That’s how you get promoted at Apple.
There’s often a Function Lock key that makes it so you don’t need to press function to access the F keys. On my keyboard it is FN + ESC.
There’s also often a BIOS setting that changes the default behavior of keys that have alternate functions with the FN key.
