Did I buy a keyboard with a dummy Fn key?

[MS-DOS]

So I was looking for a compact membrane keyboard (not wireless) and with classic style keys and bought this one:

FN-key isn't even supposed to do anything on its own. It's always used as a key-combo with another key or multiple keys, like e.g. on my laptop, Fn+5 puts the laptop to sleep. Alas, what you bought is just a shit keyboard, since they haven't printed on the keys what they'd do in combination with the Fn-key, so you're just left to trying them all by hand.

Wtf. So what do I do now? I wasn't able to find any other membrane keyboard. I dont buy this mechanical keyboard meme so this one was the only one left that is membrane, wire and has no numpad.

 

I dont even care about functions. I just wanted an additional key there to bind weapons in games.

You either just ignore the Fn-key and use the keyboard as-is, or you try every single keycombo with it. It's up to you which one you decide to go with.

That INS key next to the right ctrl though....

Yeah uim not sure what the point is. It brings the menu that shows up with the right key of the mouse. I press it by mistake thinkign its alt gr.

 

However the keys feels good and I like the clean look. I just cant find any other membrane keyboards.

Damn I just would need that key to work to bind it to a weapon.

 

Anyone knows membrane keyboards with no numpads?

Fn itself isnt registered to the OS no matter what keyboard you're on tbh, it only act as a combo key for the keyboard.
