    You cant use FN, but for instance you could use ALT + F9

    ! means alt, and F9 obviously means F9.

    Then rest is selfexplanatory.

    Is Fn key restricted or is it very hard to implement?

    FN key does generate any scan codes, its a modifier key for the other buttons.

    I think Fn is probably handled by the BIOS... or maybe the keyboard itself. It's not on traditional desktop keyboards... it's kind of a laptop thing, for controlling the hardware (e.g. brightness) and making up for missing keys (such as numeric keypad keys). In any case, I don't think Windows even knows about Fn.

    Final AHK script:

    #F9::run devcon enable "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27CC&SUBSYS_015B1025"
    #F10::run devcon disable "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27CC&SUBSYS_015B1025"

    Everything runs great.
