Personally I like to buy my keyboards with a minimalistic design with no FN or funky looking media keys.
So what do other people on GH think about them?
-
I have a gigantic keyboard so I have a few keys dedicated to media since I have so many, but in general I like keyboard shortcuts for most purposes.
-
I like FN. Don't like media keys.

Yeah, I always put it in if I can through FN, and if I can't I use toastify to use custom media controls for spotify.

Wow, I've never heard of it. I have a HHKB in the mail, and the biggest thing I will miss is the media keys and volume knob. Is this thing worth it?

worth every penny IMO.
there is a bluetooth version, but it only works for apple last time i checked. but the wired version is perfectly fine.

The device only works for apple, or just the wireless? I'm using windows 8.1

I personally love my media keys on my K95 since it's right beside my mouse hand so i don't even need to take my hands off my mouse for the most part.
I've kinda always had media keys so i'll find out if i miss them when i get my GON but even then i think i can bound media keys.

bluetooth version (new version) only works for apple. the wired one worked fine for me on windows 7. might want to do some research on windows 8 support before you buy. but i couldn't recommend it enough.

Those powermates seem to not support windows devices now, which is immensely frustrating. Maybe some sort of programmable mouse is my best option..
-
I just use shortcut keys for everything. I don't like the look of media keys - besides, I prefer old keyboards so none of them have any.
-
Media keys never did anything for me and I've never used them. Don't think my music player of choice even supports them, actually. (WinAmp)

I use AutoHotkey to remap anything I need that my keyboard does not provide out of the box, so although I use media keys everyday their absence on a particular keyboard wouldn't be much of a deterrent.
