    Is there a way to remap keyboard buttons. The FN key placement on the W3J is driving me NUTS!!! I keep going to hit Ctrl.

    I want to remap and switch the two

    there are ways to do it. there was a thread in here a while ago on it. search about the Fn key or do a google on remapping software.

    Again, unless you hack BIO's, it just won't work. The FN key is not programed into Windows, so you can't do any hardware or software mods. There was speculation of various innovative ideas about it, but so far I haven't heard of anything working right now.

    You'll get used to it over time.

    Coriolis is correct to a certain degree, you cannot change the FN key for the Ctrl on ASUS models as of yet.

    There are other Companies that have a little program to do this for their users.

    Asus has not provided a program like this.

    However, Asus has made a few laptops with a new keyboard layout, and yes the FN key is to the right of the ctrl key.

    As many users here, they just get used to it. Sorry to be the barrer of bad news.
