    I anticipate a little trouble holding the CTRL key while using WASD, is it possible to rebind FN and CTRL and swap their keyboard placements?

    I've thought of the same situation, so I'm interested in this as well.

    Well the problem is that the FN key is controlled by the BIOS not windows. Most remapping programs work for keys controlled by Windows.

    Hopefully you can adapt :) or use a external keyboard

    From the photos of the 2090's keyboard, the CTRL key looks shifted to the left more than in other laptops. I'm not thinking it'll be as big a problem as one might expect.
