Corsair Strafe Keyboard FN key lock?

[kieron8725]

Really like the sound (pun not intended!) of the Corsair Strafe MX silent keyboard. However I don't like the fact that the media keys are built into the F keys. Does this keyboard have a FN key lock shortcut to avoid having to keep pressing the FN key?

 

I do wish the K70 had a MX silent version.

 

Thank you.

Yes, SusieKyuu is right. Download AutoHotKey here. Then read through the quick start tutorial. When you know how to create a script and insert the following code into it (without the quotes).

 

"F5::Volume_Mute
return
F7::Volume_Down
return
F8::Volume_Up
return
F9::Media_Stop
return
F10::Media_Prev
return
F11::Media_Play_Pause
return
F12::Media_Next
return

^F5::F5
return
^F7::F7
return
^F8::F8
return
^F9::F9
return
^F10::F10
return
^F11::F11
return
^F12::F12
return"

 

This will make your F5, F7, F8, F9, F10, F11, and F12 keys function as Mute, Volume up, Volume down, Stop, Previous, Play/Pause, and Next, respectively. It will also make pressing ctrl + F5, 6,7,8,9,10,11, or 12 execute their original function.

Finally, copy your new script into your startup folder and it will automatically run upon startup of your computer.

Good Luck.

Have you got the cue software installed? upload you the config from my rgb strafe, the cue sotware is really easy to remap with. I use the fn key to cycle through pre sets, 1 normal keyboard, 2 media keys.

 

In the corsair utility engine,

-create new mode > in assignments assign FN to cycle modes > set lighting and what ever you like default > upload to the board as a default setting >create new profile (set fn to cycle modes) > in the assignment tab click a key and then remap > set lighting or what ever and save profile.

 

If you're @kieron8725using a Strafe RGB base model I'll upload my config which will do what you want, and cut out all the un-needed macros ive setup. link me to your model to make sure, they're not cross compatible with certain keyboard models
