I have now discovered that if I leave the F Lock on when I reboot the keyboard 'remembers' the F Lock status, which is good at least. Tim, I know! There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to their choice of keys. In my book F1 = Help, F2 = Rename, F3 = Search, F4 = Close, F5 = Refresh, etc. Mark, if I don’t install the drivers then I can’t reprogram the other keys, which is one of the attractions of this keyboard for me.

I've got to admit, M$loth certainly do tolerable hardware - when I got bad RSI shortly after starting back at this job, I switched to one of their `ergonomic natural' (split, angled) efforts with much joy. Oh, and since when was F4 `new'? So much for consistency - why has `close' jumped to f6? Looks nice.

Would that have made the keys vanilla flavour? Heck! It looks like the bridge of the Starship Enterprise! Can you maybe just not install the drivers? Would that have made the keys vanilla flavour?
