4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Key Functions and 60% Layout

The K617 SE features a 60% compact layout, which means some keys share functions or are accessed via the Fn (Function) key. Refer to the keycap legends for secondary functions.

• Arrow Keys: Typically accessed via Fn combinations with keys like W, A, S, D or I, J, K, L, depending on the specific layout.
• Delete, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down: These keys are usually accessed through Fn combinations with other keys.
