Title: Tex Yoda Mouse Button As FN Key?
Post by: Hyde on Thu, 15 January 2015, 19:19:57

I was just thinking today that there's no real good location for FN key normally on keyboards.

You either have to give up some keys or put the FN key in inconvenient locations.

Anyone ever ditch the nipple from Tex Yoda and just use the mouse buttons as FN keys?

This way you also don't have to drill holes into keycaps lol.

Since you'll have left and right mouse button as FN keys it seems like it's probably the best compromise between left and right hand.

I don't own Yoda so I can't test it out, but has anyone tried this before?

:P

if someone is willing to play the premium to get a yoda, probably is because of the red dot... I doubt anyone could like to not use it...

I think that would be a great spot for function keys even if they are the Cherries that match the rest of the board.
