    Not to my knowledge. There isn't a driver or any software that controls the keys. You are basically stuck with the way it is. You can configure other programs such as Winamp and iTunes to work with it, but that is about it.

    Go to winamp-->options-->preferences-->in the top section, you should see something called Global HotKeys. Just check it so that it is enable.

    This will control winamp as long as you have it running, but it won't start winamp, so you'll have to manually start the software. I've noticed some problems if you have another program up that is compatible with winamp such as WMP, so just be aware of that.

    Would that work for iTunes too?
