Logitech keyboard FN key behavior on macOS or iOS

The FN key on Logitech keyboards, when connected to macOS or iOS, functions differently from the Fn/Globe key on Apple.

  • On Logitech keyboards, the FN key is primarily used to access additional functions on the F-keys, such as adjusting the volume or using the media controls.

  • On Apple keyboards, the FN/Globe key serves as a shortcut for specific system-wide functions, like activating Siri, changing input languages, and controlling other macOS features, with a more integrated role in Apple's ecosystem.

Logitech keyboards do not send the Fn/Globe key keycode in a manner that is compatible with Apple's specific shortcuts. As a result, certain Apple functions, such as window tiling and other shortcuts reliant on the Fn/Globe key, are not supported by our keyboards.
