Page Up , Page Down, Home, End Key Not working

[manikandanram]

I have issues with Notebook keyboard. All keys work - No issues with keyboard functionality. But, I do have different kind of issue with keyboard.

Issue I have with keyboard is:

• Home, End, Page Up, Page Down keys are present with Number pad. There are no dedicated keys for them. Key 9 is for PgUp, Key 3 is PgDn. Simiarly for Home and End. These keys works and the corresponding functionalities work when Number Lock is disabled. In Browser and IDEs, Page Down and Page Up functionalities work without any issues, when pressing 3 and 9 respectively when number lock is disabled.
• But on Certain games like NFS Rivals, We need to press Page Up to start an event or to enter into garage. When pressing the PgUp Key, the Game don't recognize. On connecting external keyboard and pressing the dedicated key, it did work in the game. But, the Keys in the Number pad didn't work. So, technically speaking it is completely impossbile to play any game which requires dedicated Page Up, Page Down, Home, End key. 

Can anyone from the community help us to fix if there is any such options. I have tried following

• Inbuilt Keyboard: Number Lock Disabled : Pressed 9 (Page Up) = Game didn't recognize the Page Up
• Inbuilt Keyboard: Number Lock Disabled : Fn key + Pressed 9 (Page Up) = Game didn't recognize the Page Up
• Inbuilt Keyboard: Number Lock Enabled : Pressed 9 (Page Up) = Game didn't recognize the Page Up
• Inbuilt Keyboard: Number Lock Enabled : Fn key + Pressed 9 (Page Up) = Game didn't recognize the Page Up
• External : Dedicated Page Up key = Recognized

You have hit upon the solution I always recommend to get around these multi-function-keys issues -- get an external keyboard that does NOT have these keys and use it.

Here in the US, you can get a decent one for $10 USD (or less) -- or if you want a really good GAMING keyboard, you can spend $200 USD or more for a top-of-the-line Corsair Gaming Keyboard.

I don't believe there is a software-based solution to this as folks have tried and failed.

Thank you @WAWood for the confirmation.

I hope HP notices and provides a key mapping feature in future. 

Victus Keyboard has dedicated keys for Omen Gaming Hub and Calculator, which I have no idea why. In case if there is anyone from HP, please give the functional keys instead of number pad or replace the gaming hub + calc dedicated keys.

Update:

I have installed NFS Rivals via Steam. I used xbox controller and then, started the game.

This solved the problem as Games requires LT button to be pressed on controller instead of PageUp.

So, the solutions known so far are:

1. Connect External Keyboard 

2. Connect XBOX Controller and Try playing the game.

Note: When I saw XBOX Controller, I don't have a real XBOX Controller. I used a Rs.1100 (INR) Joystick. So, that should work for anyone as well.
