Das Keyboard 4 Professional - can function keys be remapped?

armaneo · February 26, 2015

Does anyone have this keyboard? I'm having a heck of a time trying to figure out whether the function keys can be remapped to something like a set of key-presses. For instance, on my Logitech keyboard, I can set F1 to be CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+1 so that I can insert certain headers quickly into Microsoft Word. Can I do that with any software with the Das keyboard?

**EDIT** - I think the answer is no. And the same is true for the Ducky Shine keyboards. Can someone recommend a Cherry MX Brown keyboard that has programmable function keys?

Corsair's line of mechanical keyboards would work fine for that. Corsair bundle their keyboards along with their own software which you can use to remap keys. Das Keyboards don't need any software for them to function but this also means you don't have any interface to do any changes to the functions of the keys.

Someone mentioned to me that I could use AutoHotkey to achieve my desired results. Has anyone experimented with it? Is it complicated?
