    The FN+F5/F6 doesn't work while in a full screen application like a game, how do I adjust volume? Also how do I configure my FN+~ hotkey to play/pause iTunes? Right now it does nothing.

    Did you install the chipset and hotkey apps? The hotkeys should work while in game (though they'll minimize some of them unless you disable the hotkey app on startup- the actual controls are handled through the bios anyway). I'm not sure if the FN+ ~ works with iTunes, though you can find out if it works at all by trying it in WMP (if it doesn't work there, double check that you installed the driver anyway)

    Forget the hotkeys. Map superfluous keys on the keyboard to volume. I remapped the right alt and context menu keys to volume up and down.

    Providing you are not in the heat of battle and can pause.... I just ALT-TAB out to windows and adjust the volume.

    Yeah thats what I was originally going to do but for some reason alt+tab wont work in some applications, it does nothing at all, so I have to use colibri and hit ctrl+space to go back to the desktop. :|

    It's cool, I just read on one of your posts that you're also from California (preparing for stalkers now).

    My friend is also really into computers and I knew he was looking for a new one soon, on other forums we frequent he goes by "AdrianK" which I thought was eerily suspicious, LOL.
