Detailed description：
Hello.
There is a Fn+Ecs lock possibility on my keyboard.
The "problem" is that the status diode on this key is ON when the lock is OFF (basically it's ON all the time, because I don't use this lock at all).
In my opinion this diode should be ON only when the lock is ON.
Can you please tell me if this is a designed behavior or it could be changed in settings?
Thanks

@MotoWiZ thank for pointing in this direction
I've found only one thing in BIOS there regarding FN and it's just disables Fn+Ecs lock, so diode is ON all the time

Hi there,
It is designed behavior.
The light is to remind you that you need to press the FN key with the F1-F12 key to use the function keys.
But yes, it is some time really confusing and easy to forget.
Thank you for your feedback and suggestion.
I will reported to related department.

@Blake_ASUS thank you
for me it's just not logical comparing to CapsLock and NumLock regular behavior
no need to exclude this functionality completely, just to give users a choice, what they want this button diode to remind them about

Hi phbrd,

am I correct in understanding you are basically asking for this functionality:

========================

Currently there is a setting in the BIOS which enables/disables to lock the Fn-Keys.

However, there is not an option to set the default boot-up value of the Fn Key(s).

Might I propose the BIOS option to, on boot, either set to F# or to Function ?

That would actually be a true usability upgrade. (I can not count how may times i get a refresh when I actually want to increase the brightness... 🙂 ).

thanks,

Hendrik-Jan

Suggestion for BIOS / usability improvement

hi @hjheins
no, I'm asking to invert Fn+Esc diode state for this button
in my case this diode is ON while Fn+Esc lock is in OFF state
I have no problem with boot up value, my Fn+Esc lock state is "remembered" after boot/restart
