    One of the touch buttons at the top sports the Republic of Gamers logo. However, it seems to operate Splendid, which doesn't make much sense to me. How possible would it be to remap the touch buttons?

    Tried pressing mine and nothing would happen. Glad to know it was only to do with Splendid :p

    Well on my G50vt, the RoG logo button open up DirectConsole. Software for Turbo (Oc'ing), LCD LED management and OLED screen management. But I think (Not sure and can't confirm this) the Best Buy version of the G51 doen't support Turbo OC'ing, and therefore no DirectConsole.

    If its the button right next to the power button its for the express gateway. Power your g51 down all the way and then press that button to see what it does.

    Also, the g51 does have turbo and extreme OC, its in the power options.

    Yes I also think that the RoG logo on the G51 should be for the Power4Gear Hybrid which has all the OC/ battery options.

    Wea re talking about one of the back light touch buttons, not the Express power one

    G50VT Buttons is different from G51VX-RX05...

    I would love to be able to remap the "Function+Keys" here... Like, FN+F12 turns my volume up, it kinda sucks, because with that I cant change my volume with just one hand... I would like to remap it to something like FN+A and FN+Z for sound control..

    Im using right now 3RVX to control the volume, but it dont recognize the function key, and using the WinKey usually bugs after some time -_-
