Control Media With Drop Keyboard

I have a Drop CTRL mechanical keyboard which mostly works like any other keyboard. It also has a set of functionality that can be accessed via the fn (function) key. The function key can be used to configure the keyboard's LEDs, but I tend to set and forget that.

Instead, I like to use the function key to control media. That is, adjust the volume, play and pause, and skip to the next song.

Here is a listing of the ones I use:

• Fn + Insert to Pause / Play
• Fn + PgUp/PgDown to Increase / Decrease the volume
• Fn + Del/End to go to the Previous / Next song

Here is a full listing of the function keys for Drop keyboards.
