This does mean that the Fn and left Windows key now do the same thing, but that's not really a problem. You don't need to cut any circuit board traces so you can remove these wires to reverse the mod should you not like the result. I added a bit of electrical tape to keep the wires from moving around and possibly getting pinched in the case. The PC board is well-labeled so this is not difficult. If your keyboard's PC board (mine is v1.2) uses different labels for the connections I'd suggest using an ohmmeter to confirm which pad is which. You connect WIN-L C0 to WIN-R C9 and WIN-L R1 to WIN-R R2. I used solid copper telephone wire, pre-tinning their ends so the solder connection occurs easily and immediately. I then soldered the two keys together with two wires. This will keep the new connection from relying on old solder (a bad idea).
You can make a letter a number, a number a function, and any other change your needs dictate. To do this first heat up the four solder pads and add a bit of new solder to each. SharpKeys lets you assign a new meaning to any key on your keyboard.
To open up the case, remove the four screws and gently pry the case apart with a butter knife, separating the small tabs without breaking them (if you're forcing it you're doing it wrong). So I checked on GeekHack and found that it's possible to simply wire the two keys together. Because it is a Fn key a software solution is impossible.
Since I use that key all the time for all of my shortcuts I either had to come up with a solution or return the keyboard. I just purchased a SteelSeries 6Gv2 and realized immediately upon plugging it in that the right Windows key is actually a Fn key.
