I don't think it's possible.  It's a key that doesn't send any scan codes, it just gives access to a different layer on the keyboard.

I can confirm that Igthorn is correct.  The only way to remap that key would be to modify the board/controller itself.

It isn't possible to remap *only* the FN key. I've read that you can remap FN key + the media/sleep keys on the keyboard. You can for example remap the FN + F1 key from Mute to another function with AutoHotKey. You would just reassign mute for example to another function/macro.

This is why I didn't pick up the camo board ;( haha.

the Fn key is really annoying. i didn't think about it when i bought it, if i was buying one today i would buy a different model.
Aside from the Fn key the keyboard is amazing, quality top notch.

Thanks for the response guys.
