--- Comment #14 from Mansour Behabadi <mansour@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
I have some details on the difference between the Fn key on Apple Magic
Keyboard (the new one) and Apple Wireless Keyboard (the old one). Both are
bluetooth keyboards. I used Wireshark to sniff HID packets over Bluetooth.

In the old keyboard, Fn key sends a HID packet with protocol code 0x11 (unknown
to Wireshark) and a single byte payload of 0x10 for key down and 0x00 for key
up.

In the new keyboard, Fn key sends a HID packet with protocol code 0x01 (ie
keyboard) and value of the *7th* key set to 0x02 for key down, and 0x00 for key
up.

Note the 7th key. Wireshark only shows up to 6 keycodes in a keyboard HID
packet which I assume is the standard, but the new keyboard sends a 7th keycode
for the Fn key.

Hope this helps.
