    For all those wondering how annoying the placement of the fn and ctrl keys actually are.. it's not! The ctrl keys is located in the right place actually, the FN key is just further left is all.. if you actually swapped the keys then you would find ur pinky would be stretching a little too far say in fps when trying to move and crouch at the same time.. and i'm a guitar player! soo ya it's no big deal don't worry about it when looking at this laptop

    I somewhat disagree, because i'm having trouble crouching in Battlefield 2...my pinky seems to be in an awkward position when i reach for the control button. But i'm pretty sure its something i can get used to.

    It's in the wrong place. The "right" place is at the furthest end of the keyboard.

    I find it very bothersome, especially in RTS games. I'm sure I'll be able to adjust to it though.

    I got use to it pretty quick. Yeah it's pretty annoying in fps, but I just bind it to another key.

    i've hit the Fn key quite a few times while playing FPS's so i don't think it's in the right place....

    can u not change Fn in your control options in games, or does it have to be binded with another to work? Cause if so, i would bind with Cntrl, so they will be next to each other......pinky pushes both at the same time. ;)
