# Hardware Setup

## Special Function Keys

Onlywo keys can be remaped to use on DE, Fn+F4 (P1 key) and Fn+F5 (ECO key). Other Fn keys work out of the box, but Fn+F7 (SHIFT key) and Fn+F10 (Airplane Mode) can't be recognized.

 `Fn keys Scancodes` 
```
0xef # P1 key
0xce # ECO key

```

One method to remap it is as systemd service:

 `/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/setp1key.service` 
```
[Unit]
Description=Setkeycode P1 Key

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/setkeycodes 0xef 202

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
