    Is there a way to change the volume with 1 button? Any program that I can install to do it? I have an Asus G51vx and it's horrible to adjust the volume. I need 2 hands to do this simple task.
    Need to press Fn + F11 or F12.

    Should be 2 closer buttons, like F1 and F2, then I can do it with 1 hand, not on F11 and F12.

    What are you doing with your other hand that it can't help out? :D

    Just kidding, I doubt that it can be changed. At least I don't know of any way.

    My other hand is on the mouse :D

    When you are typing it's easy, but when you have your hand on the mouse, like playing a game, it's annoying needing to change the position of 2 hands to adjust the volume.

    Probably there is a way. Even an external program to make keyboard shortcuts. Seems so easy. But I can't find one.

    A quick Google search turn up this video, click here. The video appears to show how to do exactly what you want.

    I have not used this myself.
