I got a Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop, but sadly the product manual does not explain the multimedia keys.

Some of them are easy to figure out:

• F1 - Play / Pause
• F2 - Mute audio
• F3 - Volume down
• F4 - Volume up
• F5 - Search
• F6 - Share
• F7 - Devices
• F8 - Settings
• F9 - ?
• F10 - Flip3D
• F11 - ?
• F12 - ?

I am using Windows 7, so F5 through F12 do not have any function (except for F10 which invokes Flip3D).

So what do F9 through F12 do on Windows 8?

PS: I have figured out how to program these keys, see my question - What are the virtual key codes for the Windows 8 specific multimedia keys? - from Stack Overflow.

• F9 - Display Switch
• F11 - Horizontal Display
• F12 - Vertical Display Orientation

Depending on your driver and screen config these keys work... or not. I have the same keyboard and they don't work under win8.1.
