fn+Left (for Home) and fn+Right (For End) not working on HP 350 compact keyboard on Windows11

[KGupta]

fn+Left (for Home) and fn+Right (For End) are not working on HP 350 compact mutideivce bluetooth keyboard on Windows11.

As there is no home and end keys on the keyboard, so fn+Left and fn+right should work for Home and End functionality.

Although other function keys from F1 to F12 are working fine in combination of fn key.

Please suggest me the troubleshooting steps. I have tried by updating the driver from the device manager, but its not working.

Hi @KGupta,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If the Fn+Left (Home) and Fn+Right (End) combinations on your HP 350 Compact Multi-Device Bluetooth Keyboard are not working, but other Fn keys work correctly, here are steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue.

Check Keyboard Mapping in Windows

• Windows may not have correctly mapped the Home and End functions for your keyboard.
• Steps:
  1. Press Win + R, type osk, and hit Enter to open the On-Screen Keyboard (OSK).
  2. Try using the Fn+Left and Fn+Right combinations on your physical keyboard while observing the OSK.
     • If Home or End does not activate on the OSK, the issue is likely with the keyboard driver or firmware.

Update or Reinstall the Keyboard Driver

• Even if you’ve tried updating the driver, fully reinstalling it might fix the issue.
• Steps:
  1. Open Device Manager (Win + X → Select Device Manager).
  2. Expand Keyboards, find your HP Bluetooth Keyboard, and right-click it.
  3. Select Uninstall Device and confirm.
  4. Restart your PC, and Windows will automatically reinstall the driver.

Check for Firmware Updates

• HP keyboards often require firmware updates for optimal performance.
• Steps:
  1. Go to the HP Support website.
  2. Enter the model number of your keyboard (HP 350 Compact Multi-Device Bluetooth Keyboard).
  3. Check for any firmware or software updates available for the keyboard.
  4. Download and install the update.

Test Keyboard on Another Device

• Pair the keyboard with another device (e.g., another PC or tablet).
  • If Fn+Left and Fn+Right still do not work, the issue is likely with the keyboard itself.
  • If it works, the issue is specific to your Windows 11 system.

Use HP Keyboard Software (if available)

• Some HP keyboards require a dedicated software utility for advanced key functions.
• Steps:
  1. Search for "HP Accessory Center" or similar software for managing HP peripherals on the Microsoft Store.
  2. Install it and configure the function keys for the Home/End features.

Manually Remap Keys

• If none of the above work, you can remap the Fn+Left and Fn+Right combinations using third-party tools.
  • Steps:
    1. Install a tool like SharpKeys or Microsoft PowerToys.
    2. Map Left + Fn to Home and Right + Fn to End.
    3. Save the settings and restart your PC.

Perform a Bluetooth Reset

• Unpair and re-pair the keyboard to reset Bluetooth settings.
  • Steps:
    1. Go to Settings → Bluetooth & Devices.
    2. Remove the HP keyboard from the list of paired devices.
    3. Restart your PC.
    4. Pair the keyboard again and test the Fn combinations.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.

None of your mentioned steps are helping.

Do not have any issues with my Windows 11, as fn+Left (home), and fn+right(end) are working fine with the laptop keyboard.

But the HP Bluetooth 350 multidevice keyboard not working for these keys. There has to be some problem with the keyboard driver.
