Marked keys

Hello!

I have a question: For what purpose are marked keys on the keyboard - 1, 6 and up/down? What does this mean? In this photo they are: http://computerandlaptops.files.wordpre … _1000h.jpg

Thank you!

Re: Marked keys

It's like a layered number pad on top of the other keys to save space. Although the temporary Fn does not work to enable it, if you press num lock or whatever it is, you can get a good calculator keyboard. Accidentally enabled it once, and was really frustrated for a bit...

Re: Marked keys

Nope, the number keys on top work with NumLock, too.

Re: Marked keys

My best guess, is that its just to help find the keys in the dark, the occasional key with more white paint will be noticeable in the dark, and give you a reference point from which to find other keys.
