Comment on Previewing the Framework Wireless Touchpad Keyboard

I love this because I have the opposite problem. I hardly ever use the Fn keys and my old laptop had them as the “default” and I had to press an extra key to change the volume or brightness which annoyed the heck out of me

I feel for the devs/engineers who try to appease everyone

I mean, the solution is pretty simple, here: remove both function and media, etc. keys. That way, no extra keys to press (in fact, no keys, at all).

This design stuff’s a cakewalk~

  That’s how you get promoted at Apple.

To be fair it should be an easy fix, make the “Fn Lock” function a hardware switch, everyone gets to choose their preference without installing any bloatware

  I’ve had laptops where this is a BIOS setting. A simple switch on the side of the keyboard to flip which keys are on the fn layer solves the problem too. Same with key remapping, for keyboards that support that (and really any nice keyboard should or it’s not worth the cost).
