    Has anyone successufully used this HControl hack recently on this machine? I'm not really dead set on changing the shortcuts, but it would be nice to do!

    If I currently owned the laptop, I wouldn't hesitate to try out the hack, but at this point I'm just shopping. I'm curious if other people have more info on it, so please report back and let us know how it worked out for you.

    in retrospect it actually is a moot point. im perfectly happy with the media buttons and their functions as is. Asus really put some thought into the W3J and its easy to see.
