To use media keys on the Ducky One 2 Skyline, you must record a macro to bind the media function to a hotkey combination, i.e. Fn
plus some key.
Important: In the instructions below, "Press X+Y+Z
" means press and hold key X
, press and hold key Y
, press and hold key Z
in that order, and then release all three.
As an example, to bind Fn+PgUp
to the play/pause media function:
- Press
Fn+2
to activate profile #2. Profile #1 (factory default) is not programmable. Indicator lights will flash twice. - Press and hold
Fn+Ctrl
for 3 seconds to start recording a macro. Indicator lights will flash slowly. - Press
Fn+PgUp
to define theFn+PgUp
hotkey combo. Indicator lights will flash quickly. - Press
Fn+Win+D
to bind the key combo to the play/pause function. Indicator lights will continue to flash quickly. - Press
Fn+Ctrl
to complete recording. Indicator lights will stop flashing. - The media key is now bound. Press
Fn+PgUp
to play/pause.
To reset the current profile and clear all bindings, press and hold Win+Space
for 3 seconds. The indicator lights will flash for a short while.
The following functions can be bound to hotkeys using the method above.
Fn+Win+A
: MuteFn+Win+B
: Volume UpFn+Win+C

: Play/PauseFn+Win+E

@HeyBanditoz @tleb and anyone else having weird problems with media keys mapping incorrectly or just stopping working...
The problem:
It seems that media keys can get "stuck" as activated when you set up the macros, and my theory is that activated media keys will block all the other media keys from working, or they will sometimes take precedence over other media keys.
What seemed to work for me:
When you set up the macros, make sure you press the media hotkeys in the correct order, and release them in the correct order. IE if you are setting up muting... make sure you press
fn
THENwindows
THENa
.... and when you release, make sure you release thea
key first THEN thewindows
key, THEN thefn
key.I believe this is what is causing the weird mapping issues, but if anyone else reads this, let me know if this works / doesn't work. I burned about an hour trying to figure out WTF was up and this seemed to work for me.
