    Hi guys,

    I recently noticed an unanswered question related to WASD keys on my G53JW and on some G53 series. Here it is: As you see from the screenshot below, the keys W, A, S and D has a tiny "arrow" next to it on each key (W-up, S-down, A-left, D-right). I first thought that keys would have been enabled by function (FN) keys or ALT button, but no. I read the whole e-manual of my notebook but they failed to mention about it and as far as i tested, the arrows cannot be enabled by any FN or ALT or SHIFT key(s) in Windows.

    Please see the screenshot and the keys highlighted in red:

    Any comments what do they mean?     Are they just reminding us that they can be used in games for moves when they're configured inside the corresponding game?

    Any comment is greatly appreciated,

    Thanks!
