Can you give us more details on the hot key reprogramming, Clive? I have
seen this keyboard and had thoughts of using it as you are. I was wondering
which keys (hopefully all) are reprogrammable, and can they be reprogrammed
to any code the user may specify (or are they more limited to just certain
functions/applications).
