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 six different types of keys, specifically typewriter keys, function keys, soft keys, Hot keys, Windows special keys and the keypad overlay.
Never remove the key caps on your keyboard. Doing so could cause damage to the parts under the key caps.

Function keys: F1 … F12
The function keys (not to be confused with the special FN key) are the twelve keys at the top of your keyboard - these keys function differently from other keys.
F1 through F12 are called function keys because they execute programmed functions when pressed and, when used in combination with the FN key, those keys marked with icons also execute specific functions on the computer.
