Keyboard Layout

[vizoo]

Hey there everyone, I recently thought of getting the ProBook 635 Aero G7 as it is one of the most budget-friendly devices, but I discovered there are three unusual keys in total, located on both sides of the "SPACE" key. And I was wondering if those keys also function as the "SPACE" key or if they have an entirely different or no function at all. Thanks

No, they are NOT space keys. Page 13 of the following manual fives you some info

Hello,

this looks like a Japanese keyboard layout although I would expect the key caps to also include kanji symbols.

You can see in this page examples of Japanese keyboard.

In any case, those blank keys do not work as space but are handy only when writing Japanese. Most likely they will do nothing in Windows if you press them. You can re-map the keys to space (or whatever) with the Windows PowerToys software package.

Thanks. 

However, no useful information regarding my question was provided in the manual.

Thank you. 

Yes, I agree, it may have the Japanese keyboard layout, but I do not see any symbols, so I think that's not the case.

Though I think this version of ProBook 635 Aero G7 is not common elsewhere but in my region, the other ones have the normal keyboard layout and a larger space key. 

Anyways, I think I'd like the idea of re-mapping the keys to "space" because the original space key is so tiny lol, even if the keys already have functions... Have to get a hands-on to find out.
