I am not talking about FN key, I was talking about F1 to F12 key. I was playing Minecraft with my friends and he told me what's the cords. I pressed the F3 key and nothing shows up. I pressed F1 key to hide my UI and it's not working either. So I pressed F5 on a web browser and it didn't work either. My keyboard I am using is Logitech G915 TKL with Cabled Connection. Why is F-key not working?
In Minecraft, try pushing FN+F3 together.
Some keyboards need FN+F# at the same time for some reason.
I hope it helps.
Just to add to what chronos said, sometimes there's also a key combo to lockout specific keys (such as on mine, fn+esc locks the functions for me). I did a quick look though, and it sounds like there's a slight common occurrence with this issue and this board. Most people say rebooting theirs works for them, but could be a coincidence.

I don't have FN key because this isn't laptop
Enter in terminal
"sudo -i"
Then open file manager.
Create or edit this file with a texteditor:
/etc/modprobe.d/hid_apple.conf
Then add this line into the file and save the file:
"hid_apple fnmode=2"
"sudo update-initramfs -u"
Then restart
I read that this worked also on non-Apple-keyboards, so you could try if it helps.
If it not works, remove the line or file (only if created this file).
I do have FN key but there is two things:
- The picture you send dosen't look the same
- FN-key can only using F1 to F4 for macros
Well, I just checked the online manual.
Based on the picture in the manual, you're right that the picture from Google was slightly off (I guess the TKL lacks the G buttons), but there's no reference to FN macros.
Would you please try FN with F3 in Minecraft?
That will set my keyboard to Marco 3
If that's true, and neither @Forpli's nor @applecheeks37's solutions worked, then I have no idea.
Your F1–F12 keys are likely set to media mode by default. On the Logitech G915 TKL, press FN + ESC to toggle FN lock. That should make your F-keys work normally.
