The Keyboard

The computer’s keyboard layouts are compatible with a 104/105-key enhanced keyboard - by pressing some keys in combination, all of the 104/105-key enhanced keyboard functions can be performed on the computer.

The number of keys available on your keyboard will depend on which country/region your computer is configured for, with keyboards being available for numerous languages.

In use there are five different types of keys, specifically typewriter keys, function keys, soft keys, Hot keys and Windows special keys.

Never remove the key caps on your keyboard. Doing so could cause damage to the parts under the key caps.
