Keyboard "remappers"

Feb 11, 2006 12:25AM PST

Hi, I'm not sure if I've already posted something of this nature in this site, please forgive me if I have. I have recenetely bought an e-Blue keyboard from a dodgy shop here in Hong Kong. The guys at the shop told me to go to the e-Blue website <http://www.e-blue.jp/> as indicated on the keyboard packaging for the driver. When I did get to the website that night, I found no drivers or software for ANYTHING anywhere or for ANY OS. I called the guys the next day and asked where the drivers were for the Mac. On the packaging of my new Mongoose keyboard, it said Mac OS X was compatible [and since I know now that nearly every if not all keyboards will work with OS X, except without the special function key functionality], I so I picked it out and bought it, expecting it to fully work. The guys called me back the next day because their supervisor wasn't there or something and I got told that only Windows is compatible with the special function keys on the keyboard (back, forward, previous and next song etc).
So then I searched google for keyboard remappers in the hope that there would be some app lieing around out there that allowed the user to change special function keys, and had little sucess, except for the fact that I found uControl (still this wasn't what I was looking for). Can anyone help me here please?
Btw my "Warranty" has run out Sad
PLEASE reply someone
