## Questions & Answers

**Q: For "?" do you really have to use fn+shift? A q/a says shift+fn reverses this? A review implied that turns the functions on. Can someone explain this?**
A: For anyone that is stuck here:

Fn + Enter - Turn on/off arrow key function layer
Fn + Left Control - Turn on/off function key layer

Use arrows/function keys as one off:

Fn + Right Alt -> Left Arrow
Fn + Right page icon thing -> Down Arrow
Fn + Right ctrl -> Right Arrow
Fn + Question Mark -> Up Arrow

Fn + 1 -> F1
Fn + 2 -> F2
...
Fn + 12 -> F12

**Q: What color are the LEDs on the black version of thr keyboard?**
A: It is vivid color yellow on the black version of RK61.

**Q: How easily replaceable are the keys? What keycaps should I buy if I am trying to replace them?**
A: these switches are cross-mounted, meaning that any keycap set that has the cherry cross-mount design should fit. there are also different profiles for different heights and contours of the keyboard. cherry, oem, dsa, and sa are a few well known profiles that you could check out, spanning from the flattest and less curved profiles to the taller more curved profiles. I am currently typing on a keyboard with sa keycaps, which really bring out the sound of the switches, are super durable, and fit my hands rather nicely, giving me a more desirable and comfortable typing experience. for gaming I recommend just cherry or oem profiles, because there will be less space between keys, and less overall key wabble, which can lead to miss clicking from my own experience. as sa profile keys are taller, it might strain your fingers to reach up to the number row or even the f keys. but your results may vary, it is a very customizable and very personal subject. in all honesty, you could just keep the original keycaps if you wanted

**Q: Is the Fn key reprogrammable?**
A: I don't think so,
There is no software manager for this keyboard
