Good tactile feel to rubber coated keys. Should have enough function keys for just about anybody (22 programmable + 16 media dedicated). Only bitch was that it came with two '_-' keys one instead of the '+='. Wasn't worth sending unit back.

4.0 out of 5 stars great keyboard using with autohotkey, September 25, 2009

This is actually a great keyboard. You don't need to install included software to make the function keys to work, AutoHotkey could totally do the job.

in mode 1, by pressing L1, system receives F1 and 1
...
in mode 3, by pressing R5, system receives F10 and 3

so simply put the following in autohotkey:

F1 & 1::
MsgBox, ! L1 in mode 1 !
return
F10 & 3::
MsgBox, ! R5 in mode 3 !
return

Got it?
hummm, now my problem is how should I use all these keys?
