    Function keys aren't working in fullscreen games.


    Hi!Lately, I've occured a problem, when I try to Alt+Tab out of some fullscreen games. What happens is, when I press Alt+Tab, I'm still in the game, RGB lights on my keyboard turn off, some sound plays and I need to quickly Alt+Tab again, to switch the tabs, otherwise the same thing would happen again. The same situation happens with the Windows key.I would be really thankful if someone helped me with that problem.Thanks!

    :)

  3. 1215N function keys not working?

    Doesn't list it for the 1215N *Frown Function keys aren't working in fullscreen games. :(

    Funny part all the keys work out of the box with Linux Mint, go figure.

    Tried the one on softpedia, doesn't seem to work.

    Any other model that I can take it from?
