function lock?

i guess it changes all the F1-F12 into "check email" "logon internet" hotkeys...

Make the F keys (F1-F12, prnt scr, scroll lock, pause break) perform stupid functions (new email, new reply, new this, new that, forward, reverse, play/pause, my computer etc etc) instead of being the default f's (f5 refresh, etc etc)

 

[andylawcc]

heh, I actually have trouble turning F-Lock ON... 🙂 and I thought it was a bad thing....

You can't...there is no fix for it. I hate pressing the fscking flock button to enable the default f functions.

there is a resolution. JUST DON'T install the drivers.

that's what i've done for my Logitech Mouse / Keyboard set.

No logitech software is installed on my computer. Flock continues to be a bitch.

really?? i have the Logitech combo, and i'm using the default F-Keys.

 

[MAME]

wait wait wait...you're upset because you have to press 1 button, right? So like the computer turns on, you hit this 1 button and everything is fine?

Holy sh!t man, god forbid you ever stub your toe or lose a penny

EDIT: changed the 'G' to a 'g' in "god"

 

[igowerf]

Mine turns on be default so I've never had to fuss with it. I'm using the Logitech Elite keyboard.

 

[OulOat]

I'm using a Logitech wireless keyboard, and I hate F-Lock. First, I have to install the software because the connection isn't secure without it. Second, since this is wireless, there is no warning LED that F-Lock is on. What's incredibly annoying is when you hit F5 to refresh and instead it just undo your last action (F-Lock key for F5 is undo).

 

[Ketteringo]

I just dont restart my computer ever 🙂

So it's on by default? Why is that site saying it's off by default? As far as I know, having it doing something unusual means the "feature" is on.

On or off, whatever. Whatever is default is that you can't use the F1-F12 keys normally. Unless playing games, I almost exclusively use the keyboard, with shortcuts and things like F6 to get to the webaddress to go to another site.

Whenever I gotta use the woman's comp, I hit it and that button just happens to be print. So damn annoying. Thats why I'll never leave my Microsoft Natural Pro. Unless it breaks, then I gotta go back to the elite cuzz they don't make pros no more.

I think I'm going to be selling/throwing this keyboard out the window soon. The F lock thing really got to me, but now my Ctrl button locks up for no reason. My keyboard is kept really clean too. Time to get a new keyboard; maybe an IBM with the clicky sounds.

On my system (mx duo) f-lock keys function normally by default -- I have the logitech KB software but not the mouse software.

 

[gunblade]

my MS multimedia keyboard has it off default. So, sometime just has to turn it on.

It is at time annoying since people do forget and get used to the standard F-x function key.

I hope MS and Logitech can make it a default of on and has the choice to turn it off.

 

[kitkit201]

That's weird because my F-lock keys are never on to begin with.. they work normally here... maybe update ur drivers or something.. dunno man..
