if yeah, please tell me:

1. is it possible to swap FN and Control? like it's possible on lenovo laptops?
2. is it the same feeling/layout like lenovo T series?
3. overall do you like it?)

thanks

ahh also, I will use this keyboard with lenovo notebook - so if I will switch in bios FN CONTROL swap - will it swap it also on external keyboard?

It is not possible to remap the fn with ctrl in bios. Other software maybe. You can only toggle fn-lock
in bios afaik.

Why do you buy the exact same keyboard ( i assume its the same ) if:
1) you have the same on your laptop
2) you do not like the layout with the fn-key

?

I'm going to use this lenovo with external displays and though that it's better to use external keyboard with the same layout, than keyboard on lenovo laptop. just wanted to get identical keyboards, as sometimes I will use laptop without monitors - so the same layout is very good. you think it's bad idea?

right now I'am using HHKB as main keyboard, but think that it will be craziness with layout during switching from HHKB to lenovo

sounds logic

no problems here while switching layouts from tenkeyless filco to thinkpad

jelly about your hhkb and i wouldnt want to swap my filco with my thinkpad keyboard, although its fine

some guys here: Forum: alternative layouts may help you with remapping the fn key.

so you like your filco much more than Lenovo keyboard?

[sinis]

yes, and sadly hhkb is not my pricerange but i think it is superior to the lenovo.

decide this yourself since you own the two allready. if you like the lenovo more, then you might want to go for it.
