Strange, really. I've tested 3 fresh units in the shop and xev showed unchanged key codes for the last 2 rows with and without Fn-green. Then I verified this by installing the kb as HID with Windows XP - Fn-green for these rows was also ignored! No problems occured on a pocket pc with drivers.

Since the keys for which the modifier Fn-green is ignored coincide with those keys on the QWERTY version which have NO green labels I suspect that their HID implementation for the new QWERTZ keyboard version has bugs.

Karel, it sounds as if this is not the case with your unit. So what about, say keys in the asdf row - do you obtain different chars with and without Fn-green??
