Default Missing keys.

Can anyone tell me how to use the shift keyboard to press keys that aren't there?

For example, how do I hit DEL to enter the bios when there is no DEL key. Or how do I press / on the shift keyboard?

This is annoying.

you have to use the "Fn" button, which enable the blue part of the keys, like for example the "ins" button or the "F1-10" buttons.

I know how to use the function (fn) key, but there's no del or / in blue on any of the keys.

What language keyboard does your shift have?
On my Shift, the del key is the 2nd one to the right of the space bar, and the / key is next to the arrow keys.

Default hehe

Yeah, too bad I didn't get to read your post about 3 days ago when I got the shift. I figured it out about 3 hours ago, that the keys are there, but have different symbols on them. Pretty annoying, really. And Canc means Del in Italian, that I'm pretty sure now

Thanks again for helping me out with that information

Caid.

With a little luck, F11 is F1 + Fnc (my shift is in for repairs)

I remember having to press F11 for something, but I couln't do it...

As far as I know, Shift has no F11 nor F12.
And what is "Fnc" anyway?
