I have nothing to contribute, other than that is a hell of a bug.  Fn key got lost.  :eek:

Okay... can we give Binge some kind of GH MAN of the Year award for purposely breaking his keyboard to try to help?

Sorry I am of no use here, but I just had to comment on this.

[insert inspirational quote here]

Half of the breaking of the keyboard (desoldering) was part of the plan from the beginning.  Stock MX blues weren't going to replace themselves with MX whites :p  Binge ain't no saint xD

So, I set my Fn key to the Right Windows key, making the default Fn key turn into a menu key... I unplugged the board while the PC was still on and plugged it back in. Now my new Fn key is back to being the windows key but the default Fn key is still Menu.... Basically I don't have an Fn key on a %60 board.


I didn't even know that the Ducky mini was out, damn.


Might have to pick one up to be honest.

I am asking mechanicalkeyboards if I can swap out the defective model for a new one. The board is perfect as long as the person is aware of this flaw and can wait until the release a firmware update to make it useable without causing this mayhem.

Extremely satisfied. Personally tested this as a guaranteed fix. The firmware reset my mini, I then changed the Fn location and restarted my pc. Loaded it up and bam, works as advertised.. Man I love that Poker II Fn placement.

Hooray for Ducky!

Now, did you get a freebie or something for diagnosing a potentially serious problem for them?

I don't know, probably something simple, like a gift voucher, or a carry bag.

They could have had a lot of returns if this wasn't fixed!

Way to push the issue and get it resolved Aiden and Binge. Attacked it on all fronts: forum, email, facebook, etc.

Confirming the above.  This was a quick and painless fix.  Amazing response from Ducky :)
