Hey everybody,

I recently bought a Force KHLB2 from this site and absolutely love it... except for 1 small problem... I am used to having my Ctrl key at the bottom left of my keyboard and my Fn key beside it, but on this laptop they are swapped. I tried searching online to look for a fix but all the results I found could only swap normal keys and not specialized keys (like Fn and Prnt Scrn)

Justin found me this fix for MSI laptops http://forum.notebookreview.com/showpost.php?p=4576549&postcount=6 (http://forum.notebookreview.com/showpost.php?p=4576549&postcount=6) but I am using a Compal so I don't think this would work...

So far the best answer I have found is this "
As seen at http://www.ashbaughonline.com/2006/08/12/thinkpad-fn-ctrl-key/ the solution to the problem of swapping th Crtl and Fn keys on a laptop is to glue them together."

If anybody else finds this change in keys annoying or has a better solution than your help is appreciated.

The 3551 is on a MSI. Try the MSI fix.
