Reversing Fn key - Logitech Keyboard K290

Question

My question is similar to this question but the situation here is in an external keyboard (Logitech Comfort Keyboard K290). Is there anyway I can revert the Fn key to behave as it is pressed all the time?

note : this is not a problem, this is the default of the keyboard. all F keys cannot be pressed without Fn key as the default ones are shortcuts (brightness - volume - media - ..etc)

I am wiring the keyboard to Asus K55VD - Windows 8

For anyone else that stumbles upon this question. SetPoint now includes a checkbox that enables you to change the default setting back to using F1-F12 instead of media keys:

Logitech keyboards can now toggle the default status of the FN key without any software by pressing FN+ESC.

enter image description herefor those who came here looking for a solution, use powertoys. There is a keyboard remapping feature. With it, you will select f1 and it will remap to fn+f1 Then it will select fn+f1 and remap to f1. With this you will reverse the order of the keys
