Programming Media Keys on the Ducky One 2 Skyline

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.

Example

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 the Fn+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.

Resetting

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.

Media Key Legend

The following functions can be bound to hotkeys using the method above.

• Fn+Win+A: Mute
• Fn+Win+B: Volume Up
• Fn+Win+C: Volume Down
• Fn+Win+D: Play/Pause
• Fn+Win+E: Stop
• Fn+Win+F: Next Track
• Fn+Win+G: Previous Track
• Fn+Win+H: Calculator
• Fn+Win+I: My Computer
• Fn+Win+J: Browser
• Fn+Win+K: Mail
• Fn+Win+L: Multimedia
• Fn+Win+M: Search
• Fn+Win+N: Navigate Backwards
• Fn+Win+O: Navigate Forwards
• Fn+Win+P: Mouse Left Click
• Fn+Win+Q: Mouse Right Click
• Fn+Win+R: Mouse Middle Click
• Fn+Win+S: Mouse Cursor Up
• Fn+Win+T: Mouse Cursor Down
• Fn+Win+U: Mouse Cursor Left
• Fn+Win+V: Mouse Cursor Right
• Fn+Win+W: Mouse Scroll Up
• Fn+Win+X: Mouse Scroll Down

After choosing the media key, you can (optionally) choose a "macro implemenation option" and a "macro record time option"

If you want to lower the volume from 100 to 0 by holding Fn + [, you have to choose the Fn+E implementation and the Fn+1 record time.

1. Fn+Ctrl for 3 seconds (start recording macro)
2. Fn+[
3. Fn+Win+C (to bind volume down)
4. Fn+E
5. Fn+1
6. Fn+Ctrl (end macro)

I think it's a good idea to use Fn+1 for most macros, to avoid delays between consecutive key presses. For example, to bind Fn+/ to mute, with no delay:

1. Fn+Ctrl for 3 seconds (start recording macro)
2. Fn+/
3. Fn+Win+A (to bind mute)
4. Fn+1
5. Fn+Ctrl (end macro)
