Have you ever owned a keyboard that has special function keys? You know, the small buttons that run along the very top of the keyboard. Different keyboards have different keys, but the most common ones are an e-mail button, a search button, a connect button (for the Internet) and a calculator button. Some even have a sleep mode function, a volume control right on the keyboard itself and multimedia keys.

As you can imagine, those extra keys are very nice to have around. For example, if you want to get into your e-mail or use the calculator, you can just hit that button one time and the program will pop right up on your screen. It’s like your wish lies right at your fingertips!

If you’ve already been using the special keys, that’s great and you should keep doing so. If you have the buttons, but don’t know how to use them, you should refer to the software that came with your keyboard. Look through the manual and there should be instructions on how to configure the buttons so that you can start using them.

Now, every keyboard is different, so it’s hard to tell you how to make the special function keys work without skipping over someone, but all the answers should be right there in your manual. Once you get them working, I’m positive you’ll never want to stop!
