    hi guys. do you think its possible to change the fn and ctrl keys in a bios update or something? i know it probably wont happen but just throwing ideas out there, if its possible and alot of us find we want it then perhaps they could add it in a later bios (im used to using ctrl with my little finger which searches for the corner of the keyboard!)

    Most Fn+* key combinations are hardwired so it won't happen.

    Also it's not possible to swap it by software since the Fn key doesn't produce a key event.

    After a while you'll get used to the Fn/Ctrl positions - they aren't a problem for me any more.
