Hopefully this guide has made getting a 60% keyboard feel less like losing a bunch of keys, and more like an option that’ll create more room for you to make bigger plays. The keys of the Alloy Origins 60 have their additional FN functions printed right on the keys. If you’re finding it hard to keep all this memorized, don’t fret. You can change the brightness and color hue of the Alloy Origins 60’s backlit keys by using G through L line on the keyboard, while media controls are the row just below.
Some put in FN shortcuts for media controls (play/pause, skip, volume control) on letter keys, as well as controls for the keyboard itself. The FN key is also used to control other on-board shortcuts. You’ll also find the arrow keys laid out roughly in their usual shape right next to the FN key, on Ctrl, Alt, Context menu, and /?. For instance, the Alloy Origins 60 puts the Delete key on FN+Backspace, which makes sense logically. The layout of these keys generally varies depending on the manufacturer.
