Yeah, you need to download the "Microsoft Keyboard" utility, I have it and it works as a charm.

When you open the application, check key settings and look for the 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 buttons, those are the heat sensitive keys.

 

Yeah I already have it. Does any of you know ow to reassign the wow video and audio button? I made an error after I installed the app and want to reassign wow video to media center instead of media player classic.

 

You open the application, select the key settings and edit it, then you can put a path or whatever you want that key to do.

 

Are you able to remap the fn and cntrl keys using this program?

 

I haven't tried, I have just done the thermal keys and work well. Check the key settings, there you have a list of what you can or can't modify.

 

I can't find which one is the video one...

 

tried it, and it sort of worked but the email button would always open up outlook no matter what. which keyboard model exactly do I have to select if any?

 

you have a chichony brand

 

Open keyboard properties and change the mail button from outlook to whatever you use.

 

Damn, I got lost at the point where you choose what keyboard you have, what should I take if I have a Compal FL90?

 

You don't care about your keyboard, choose the Microsoft one.

 

They are all microsoft ones...
Just select multimedia keyboard.

 

Yes, I'm sorry, I meant that one there, I'm working with multiple projects so some words get stuck in my mind sometimes, I hope we could have brain readers

 

Wow, nice program. I finally got use of that wow video and wow audio buttons; they open My Computer and Network Computers now. I also bind mail button to open Gmail account in browser.
And also the appeared onscreen notifications about sound volume and lock key status.

 

Thanks for this. Now I can actually put those buttons to good use. It now opens media player and the my storage drive. I also did the same thing as Dirt for the mail button and set it to open Gmail. By the way, is there any way I could possibly use the Wow buttons as a volume control? I'm not a fan of using the Fn key when I don't have my mouse to control volume.

+Rep

 

That's a nice application, I think is hard to do, but not impossible. Assuming we can, how would you differentiate increasing the volume from decreasing it?

Like one tap is + and two taps is -, may be

 

is there a way to keep the WOW audio/video buttons the way they are?

also I am now able to change the mail button, except it wasn't any of the 1,2,3,4,5 buttons but the one that had outlook tied to it already in the settings.

 

Have you set your keyboard to be a "Digital Media Keyboard"?
Wow video and audio are respectively "My favorite 3" and "My favorite 4". Just remove their assignment if you don't like they way you set them...

 

You should have 1 to 4 with a not assigned notification. W/r the speaker, the details show +/-/mute, but we only get a green bar (on) or a red bar (mute), we need to keep looking how to use the + and -.

 

does this run run in the backround all the time? as a service or driver? or can i use it then remove it from startup??

 

From the booting time, so, yes, it's working on the background.

 

do the normal keys have this also the internet button and others up top..?? hmm i wonder..

 

You can modify the appropriate keys on the Digital Media Keyboard only.

 

+ and - are the volume up and down button already assigned by the bios(i think) to fn+f7 and fn+f8, I don't think that we can change that.

 

That's true, actually if we use the Fn+F8 or F9, we can see the nice green bar going up and down, cool.
