    I have a Gateway P 6860 and would like to make the keys up top ( The: Play, Stop, Reverse and Fast Forward) buttons to my itunes keys. Is this possible and if so, how can i do it? I searched for this but found nothing. Thanks for any help.

    I have a question about rearanging the the keys also...does anyone else feel real uncomfortable playing FPS games like CS because to crouch you have to put the pinky like directly under the index finger to hit the Ctrl key?! It wont let me change the Fn key in settings to crouch~! Any solutions?

    The FN key is mapped at a hardware level, so if your BIOS does not support CTRL-FN swapping, then there is no way to do it. This has been visited many many times, and also does not belong in this topic.
