Windows – How tonstall Lenovo Slim Usb Keyboard (SK-8821) F1-F12 Keys on Windows 10

driverskeyboardkeyboard shortcutslenovo-desktop-computerwindows 10

I have Windows 10 Pro x64 and installed on Lenovo V520 MT-M 10NK
And i also have the Lenovo Slim Usb Keyboard (Model: SK-8821) that comes with it.

Compact Keyboard with no dedicated F-keys

When I press the buttons F1,F2,F3 and so, I got nothing.
If I press the Fn+F1 buttons the F Keys are working.

How do I change the F Keys to work immediately without pressing the Fn Key together?

Also, where can I find the correct Software/Driver for this?

I try searching the web and the Lenovo support center but not got any solution for Windows 10. It works only on windows 7/8/8.1

Best Answer

You actually don't have F1, F2, F3 keys. Those are Mute, Quieter, Louder keys.

See USB HID Keyboard Scan codes - 

#define KEY_MEDIA_VOLUMEUP 0xed  
#define KEY_MEDIA_VOLUMEDOWN 0xee  
#define KEY_MEDIA_MUTE 0xef

To change the meaning of those keys, you must install a suitable driver.

Windows 8.1 drivers sometimes work on Windows 10.

You may be able to do some remapping using some other generic driver or keyboard/scancode remapping tool.
