Hello, my new keyboard's multimedia keys are the same as the F1-F12 keys, so if I want to pause a song for example, I have to press the FN key and then F7. This requires both hands and it's not working for me.
I'm trying to make it so the multimedia keys are the default and if I want to use the F1-F12 keys, then I'd have to press the FN key. Unfortunatelly, this keyboard does not have a FN Lock key and from what I've found out on the internet, there is no way to make this possible in Windows 10, at least on a desktop PC.
Also it doesn't help that every google search that comes up is for laptops, it seems no one has the same problem in a desktop PC, even in these forums.
Does anyone know how to make the keyboard's multimedia keys be the default ones and the F keys to require the FN key on a desktop PC? Or even force the FN key to act like a "toggle" instead of a "press and hold"?
-My MSI motherboard does not have the possibility to change this.
-Windows 10 on a desktop does not have this option either.
-My Logitech mouse cannot detect the FN key, so I can't map the FN key to one of it's buttons.
-The keyboard does not have an FN lock key and all suggested FN+key combos I found on google search do not do anything. The keyboard does not have a software program and their website throws a 404 error at me when I try to contact them (don't buy any more Genesis products I guess?).
My hardware, software and peripherals:
MSI 970 Gaming motherbaord
Logitech G300 mouse
Genesis RX69 keyboard
Windows 10 Enterprise
