That's sad. That's how the industry abuses the unknowing..

*edit*

If my keyboard has volume buttons, it better have speaker and a lcd,
oh and a floppy drive..

My keyboard, is the true and tried durable Chicony (kb-5981).

my keyboard wrote:Heavy-Duty mechanical switches give the KB-5981 keyboard the "click" type feel that many users are looking for. This 104-key keyboard features an enhanced 104-key key layout that includes the three additional keys (2 - logo keys & 1 - application key) for added compatibility and functionality with Windows. Includes 5 pin/6 pin keyboard connector adapter making the keyboard compatible with all 286 and higher PCs.

wrists were starting to hurt, i needed a 'split' model

My keyboard has volume buttons (amongst others), and they actually work.. on the master volume I might add.. working under all applications (AFAIK) and even games..

Screwdriver.drv 1.0 will probably fix it

O btw, download? probably behind some activex-click-here-if-you-accept-connection+we-know-all-of-you-now?

my ms-keyboard works without any drivers. Configured it for winamp too. Or maybe i have installed the drivers but forgot it?

I have a split MS media keyboard and it works GREAT! I love the thing. I didn't even use the driver at first. I also have a registry tweak to invert the 'F-Lock' so the F1-F12 work right after boot. Let me know and I can point you to the download.

@RPJ Please tell me where to get the tweak! I hate when i forget to turn on the F-lock. Newer uses the functions ms gave them. I use the normal F1-F12 all time.

Ooh... I'd like that too if it'll work on my logitech. That flock key is the most annoying thing keyboard makers have ever dreamed up.

Kanati2,

You should get the latest version of the Logitech iTouch software for your keyboard. I have it and mine boots up automatically with the F-Lock in the Function Keys mode.

I got the Logitech Cordless Desktop, with cordless keyboard and cordless, optical mouse. All the extra buttons on my keyboard works perfectly in Windows
