Dell XPS 9570 still working. But I'm waiting for my new XPS 9510 and it would be very frustrating not have fn+arrow key combo working as before

well, the tweet mentions explicitly XPS-15 9500. As 9510 is mainly a refresh of 9500 (Intel Gen10->Gen11 platform), with the same keyboard, I would expect the same issue to be there as well... I upgraded from a XPS-13 9350 to a new Gen11 9310, just to find that Fn+Left/Right has no effect and Home/End buttons are now on Fn+F11/F12 (which is pretty much useless at least in my coding workflow...). Not sure yet what I'll do. I like the form-factor, but I might have to send it back and buy a different brand instead...

The keyboard on the 9510 is not the same part number as on the 9500 but the layout is the same. The only difference I remember is that the power button / fingerprint reader on the 9510 can be pressed, otherwise the layout is the same. The home/end keys are on the F11/F12 but it's their primary function (push Fn. to use F11 and F12), same as on the 9500.

My work laptop is a 9570 and my personal laptop is the 9500. I have a relatively easy time switching back and forth between the two but I do prefer the home/end setup of the 9570.
