NOT For Office Work - The Microsoft All In One Media Keyboard Review
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 12. 2014
- Microsoft's newest entry in the Home Theatre PC keyboard controllers is GREAT for TV use, but you might want to avoid this if you're planning to do any heavy office work on this thing!
@all: There is no problem to "lock" the function keys and there is no problem to use HOME and END.
Just press and hold the Fn-key and press for a short moment on the CAPS-Lock (above left shift-key with the big A in it and the lock-icon on the right side).
This is a standard function and it works without any problems on Windows 10 (1607).
Sry for my bad english.
+public public is right:
FN + CAPS = FN lock to press f5 for actually f5.
FN + LEFT = HOME
FN + RIGHT = END
EDIT: I use the model v1.0. Manufactured in 2016. Model number: 1496.
To enable the f1...f12 in first press just press for 2 seconds Fn+CapsLock; there are customizable buttons as the three on top of the touchpad, just use the microsoft application (you'll find it on the keyboard's page on microsoft site) and you'll have back your End, Home and Print Screen buttons... ;D
thanks thanks thanks, i was desperate with out my F key functions
very useful. thank you
Fn-Lock: Fn + Caps Lock (inverts the way Fn works with the F1-F12 keys)
Home: Fn + Left arrow
End: Fn + Right arrow
Page Up: Fn + Up arrow
Page Down: Fn + Down arrow
Print Screen (full screen): Fn + Windows Key + Space
Print Screen (current window) Fn + Alt + Space
Does it work for mac
You can just tap the trackpad with two fingers to right-click (not click via depressing the trackpad).
Who would use this for office or something else? It's a goddamn media keyboard!
Honestly... I never use the "home" and "end" keys. Easier just to click where you want to go in the text by using this amazing thing called a "cursor". Usually what happens is I hit the "home" or "end" key on my keyboard by accident and mess up my work. And +Lt. Albert PR is right. The home and end keys are Ctrl+ left/right (For words) or Ctrl + Up/Down (for paragraphs). At least with the keyboard hooked up to my computer.
But clicking means you have to keep switching from the keyboard to the mouse. Fatiguing if you do a lot of keyboard work. I use Home, End (while typing), Pg Up and Pg Down (web browsing) so much that I'm buying a keyboard with those dedicated keys to replace my old one with those keys. I bought a Logitech K400 Plus TV keyboard that is very similar to this Microsoft one and having to hold Fn so much is such a pain. But it's great for my TV and Xbox.
That explanation on the function keys was gold 😆 you are very right
why not for office work? why not demonstrate typing experience?
thanks man! i was close to buy that crap :D
im using end/home like 100 times a day (coding) and would be fucked without that keys :D
You could use Fn+Left for Home and Fn+Right for End.
OMG YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER! I was soooo sad I that I bought this and it doesn't have these two buttons. Still I wish they had them so I can also use SHIFT and CTRL with the Home and End buttons (for selections and stuff)
I mean there's space above the left and right buttons why didn't they just put them there? It's like they're trying to make it bad :\
FN + CAPS = FN lock to press f5 for actually f5.
FN + LEFT = HOME
FN + RIGHT = END
seems to work only on some variants of this keyboard
You're not the first to post this, doesn't work on mine though.
I confirm it works on my set. the box says lot no. 1623 so maybe it works for later batches and I'm running win 7
Win 10 (1607) it works fine. Just press and hold Fn first, thats important and then press on the caps lock for a short moment where you find the 'lock'-icon on your keyboard. I bought mine today and I see a lock-icon beside the |A| on the keyboard.
It works fine on Windows 10. Please do not tell other people wrong things like this when you just can not operate with it.
(sry for my bad english)
How about middle mouse button - can I do it?
works for me, but if you turn off the keyboard from the power switch and then turn it back on, the setting will be reset, it's really annoying..
Nice review, man. The home and end keys are a must these days, even in a htpc keyboard.
Ctrl+ arrows left or right do the same thing as home and end. I have only confirmed this with notepad.
TheLPT Ctrl+Left ,Right jumps between words.. while it can sort of take the place of home and end, it's still not home and end. :P
+Lt. Albert PR Ctrl + Up or Down will do the trick.

is there anyway we could setup the INSERT key?? i really need this key and i still couldn't find a way
Arash Ab try to search "ahk" and Google, and it might help
Does not work for samsung smart tv. Can not type any texts... Mouse pad does not work as well...
I bought this keyboard and I returned it the same day and for only 10 dollars more I bought a redragon kuruma
Respect!! You discussed my biggest problems with it, the functionalities buttons (F1: F12), no Home and End keys.
I knew others would have the same problem with it... even though so many say I'm just nit picking! :P

I have a keyboard with an irritating sleep key. I tore it off. Now I'm happy.
Nice review!!! Does anybody know if this keyboard works with MacOs logic Pro and final cut to zoom in and out and forward and backward multi gestures? Thanks
I bought a similar logitech K400r white keyboard, it sucks too (as this one), there is 3 mouse keys on mine, right and left got 2 key, corner got an additional mouse key, but the function key (reverse, have to press Fn to activiate F4 or F12), that really get me stuck when I get to work with it
good with couch and videoing
solution, put this keyboard near the couch, buy another wireless cheaper keyboard to place in front of tv for working out
Fn < for HOME
Fn > for END
That doesn't work for me :\
Function + Left arrow = Home
Function + Right arrow = End
How about touchpad's performance and the wireless distance? I have Logitech k400 and the touchpad's sensitivity is too high.
I know this is late but might help someone. It has about 33 feet range, or 10 meters'ish.
im writing on it now very good shit for tv but it has two cons, F keys are not default and no have middle mouse click, but i think F keys can be changed with some keys mapper software.....
thanks for the detailed highlights of home/end buttons. i almost bought this keyboard...
can i use it with mac mini? anybody knows?
Yes you can.
Seems like Logitech still the better choice to me. My 8 dollars Logitech k120 keyboard last for years and still works fine.
thanks!
I just want this for Minecraft on Xbox 😂
OK my BIGGEST problem is.. How to even middle click with this keyboard? I always use a 2 fingers click as middle click setup on my laptop but even having downloaded the microsoft software, I couldn't 2 fingers click setting..............
I don't think that's possible...
Unless you can find an equivalent on the keys, you're out of luck and need to buy something you know has the feature. Middle click is highly specialised now. My Kensington trackball can be programmed with middle click. But it's pretty niche.
I'm 5 years too late but you can lock the function key by pressing "FN" and "Caps lock" at the same time. Irrelevant review because of that.
You're not the first to mention that, and it's not the first time I told people.. that didn't work for me. :)
@@marauderz Ah didn't see
hello how are you i need help how to do a print screen or wht is the command
+Walter Mejia Also not possible with this keyboard.. try using the snipping tool that comes with Windows.
Works with Android 5.0 on a Smart TV ?
+florindicau Well, it's just a normal keyboard, don't see why it wouldn't.
i love internet when solve my problems! greate job.
For those looking to buy this heap of crap, whenever you press a key on the keyboard, it disables the trackpad for two seconds after you've pressed it. Think how that would work for gaming, or just about anything else. Will be attempting to send back.
+Todd Turner wow.. never realised that because never used it to play games before, but you're right!!
It made me cry a little that a company like Microsoft would produce something like that :( Just thought I'd add to your review for people looking to buy one.
You also may not have noticed because you'd never think you'd need to check for it, lol. I only just got mine and went wtf? There's a few other Google results that say the same. Thanks for your time in reviewing by the way. The Fn problem also annoyed me.
+Todd Turner yeah, one I never played a game with it and 2nd being really didn't think that'd be a problem!

Very helpful.. thanks
you are complaining 8 minutes about the 'F' keys and it took me exactly 4 seconds to manage your "HUGE" problem ... google is your friend, as well as (Fn + caps lock) ......
While a lot of ppl have suggested this, it doesn't work with mine. Maybe in newer hardware revisions that are out there.
Saya jual kondisi baru segel, bisa rekber, lebih murah dari harga toko, indo only
how the heck do you set it up?
so, i bought this one, this keyboard suck. touch pad is really bad, not smooth. not good enough for home use also. i changed it for a logitech wireless keyboard/mouse set.
M Uddin Well, if you're using it for short term control for a TV it's usable. Definetly don't recommend it as your main keyboard/mouse combo on your PC.
Stopped caring as soon as I found out it uses AAA batteries. should really be rechargeable. its 2016 dammit.
Built in rechargable has its own pros and cons.. you'll probably love the Razer Turret though since that has a built in rechargable pack... though that has it own... quirks... review coming soon on that. As for this.. you could always just use rechargable AAA in there.
As much as I’m sure this statement was true at the time, it is now 2018
Yet another rechargeable battery to maintain, that wears out and you wait until it's recharged if it goes flat. My Logitech K400 with included AA batteries is rated for 18 months if you do 2 hours of typing a day. You don't need that, let alone more than that.
For mac users, you are saying nothing new! We are used to use fn button to use f1-f12 buttons and to not have end button (cmd+arrow down). And we work with macs!!!!
It's better have macro keys as default, instead function keys. Windows user are too lazy! You want to have 100000 keys!
1st view!!
lol it's not cheap! i payed 49€ for it and that's too much for a shitty keyboard!
