HP Wireless Keyboard and Mouse 300
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

This keyboard has 10 hot keys - 5 vertical at extreme left and 5 vertical at extreme right.  I am unfamiliar with the images printed on them and would like to find a description of what these images describe and what functions each of those keys each perform.  Any examples of the functions would be greatly appreciated.

Part number: 3ML04AA;  Model: HSA-A002K

Thanks for the explanations.   My keyboard is maybe a little different.

I've sent to photos of the left and right side and tell me if the key's pictured  match your explanations.

I know some do but some seem to do nothing or something different.

What do you think ?

Thanks, Rowdy
