livvy Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Livvy! Erm... x_x *quashes imagination* :ohno: Sorry Theo! It's not that bad, I promise! If they key is broken, JB, shouldn't it not matter what's on it? And isn't F a kind of necessary letter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpingbeans Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I meant, an "F12' key or something. F is a very important letter. And, if the key's missing, he could simply put a different key there, like I said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livvy Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Oh. That wouldn't work for my keyboard. The F# keys are smaller than the regular keys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Score in Blue Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Really livvy? Mine are the same size, although they are quite hard to take off the keyboard. I like the F# keys. I use the numbers from F5 to F12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divya Bean Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 The F# keys are smaller on my computer too. I really only use F1 and F5 for Sleep mode and Refresh. :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAV of Gang Green Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Hey CAV, would you be willing to use a 9 instead of a 6? Since to my slightly dyslexic eyes it looks closer to a P. Or I suppose you could copy a P and hit ctr+v every time your wanted a P. But then again I guess the 6 is working fine and I just need to suck it up and try a little harder when reading your posts. No need anymore. I found my laptop, so I can freely use the letter p now. CAV did actually try the pasting trick at first, but I presume it got too time consuming. It did get too time consuming. CAV, I just thought of something. What you do is, you take a screwdriver and gently push one of your useless buttons (Probably an F something). Then you push it in to where your 'P' key should go. Then, just click that, and you can type the letter 'P'! (And if you need to, push a 'P' key up too} Read above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antiaircraft Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 My keyboard doesn't actually have function keys. I need to use the 'fn' modifier in conjunction with the tiny special control keys to trigger them (which gets annoying in some RTS games where I have to use those keys xD ). I've seen plenty of keyboards (both peripheral and built-in) with very similar setups, and plenty more with a full set of function keys in separate sockets of various sizes, or embedded with the main bulk of the keyboard. So it's quite normal for different keyboard models from different manufacturers to have different setups, depending on the space requirements and such. :yes: That said, switching out a key probably wouldn't help to fix it at all. Most of the keyboard problems I've seen involve the spring mechanism in the key's connector, or the contacts on the circuitry beneath.

Tyler. Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 that is how mine works too, most laptops are that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Hmm... while I've found the 'fn' modifier toggle to be almost innocuous on laptops these days, very few of the ones I've used have had their function keys only available through this toggle. It seems to be extremely common on netbooks, but much less so on larger laptops. Or maybe I just don't use enough computers. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler. Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I have a larger laptop and I have it, but most I've used have been netbooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Out of curiosity, what model is the laptop you're using? I'd love to be able to brush up on my knowledge of keyboard tendencies before I end up shopping for a new computer. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAV of Gang Green Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I use a Toshiba laptop. Not sure about the exact model though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ryan Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I'm not sure wht kinda laptop I use, Ijust kno it's slow. :yes: Anyway, how has eeryone's day been? I have my laptop outside right now and i'm taking a break from decorating my yard and front porch. -points at the fake but very realistic looking rats, spiders, and crows on the table and ledges everywhere and the fake bats hanging from the ceiling.- And I still haven't even started the best part, the graveyard. :D -takes a strobe light and leaves to work on garage doors- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divya Bean Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I use a Dell E6400. The Function keys only work if I press them along with the "fn" key. :yes: Have fun Ryan! Sounds super scary. (Wow, that was some good alliteration right there xD) :laughingsmiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wembly Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Well since we're sharing I've got a Mac and you've got to use the fn button to get to the actual f#s but I can't say I've ever used them on the Mac, used to use them on my PC though. Also, Ryan that sounds like so much fun. I carved my pumpkin last night, I'll go take a picture and post it. I think it came out pretty awesome.

Me is taking a break cause there's not that muc left to do. -looks around- Oh! I did find my giant rubber snake. It was in the garage beind the Halloween bins so yay. :D Oh and we're going to Party City later. Gonna get one of those bowls that has a hand inside that grabs your hand if you try to reach in the bowl to get candy. Yay for scaring little kids that want candy! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Ryan Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I love the candy, but my favourite part is decorating and scaring the heck out of anyone that dares to come to get candy from us in as many ways as I possbly can. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Score in Blue Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I just like the look of Halloween candy. It's different to normal candy, exactly why I love Pumpkin Pocky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divya Bean Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 A bunch of guys in my neighborhood get candy so that they can throw it at people. Fun. <_< They dont throw it at me, but it is still horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wembly Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Well, then you could just catch it and say hey thanks! Saved me the trouble of going out and getting some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Score in Blue Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Exactly! Just like I was watching some Youmacon panel from last year. The guests were getting candy thrown at them. It was apparently painful... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
