    hey you cs 1.6 gamers out there

    can you crouch using the FN key? my ctrl and FN are switched, so i'd probably prefer to use an FN as my crouch key instead of control

    No, FN is a BIOs key and only recognized by Windows in certain ways(FN+key).

    The behavior of FN key is hard-coded into the keyboard and BIOS and cannot be changed (please search before you post a thread, there are MANY threads on this subject)

    when i recieved my compal HEL80 last year (when i was still in CAL-P) i had the same exact problem..i posted on several forums seeing if the FN->Ctrl swap was possible...it isn't. Trust me, you will get used to it after a while, I sure did.

    well...first of all, let me tell you that i was CS 1.6 Cheater. I spent over a year developing a VAC1&2 proof hack with a few of my buddies which worked for for almost 4 years. It was a simple wallhack with ESP as well...

    Now that i have gotten that point accross, be aware that my config was that of a cheaters, so if your a legit player it may not work for you...nonetheless, i continued using the ctrl key for crouch and my fingers got used to it very quickly.
