I think it might need to be set to 0x00 for all functional keys instead of 0x3F/0x3C/0x41, but probably no application actually cares. Another thing is that you may need to send key release after key press in order for the application to trigger the F5/F2/F7 event. I'm not sure what the scan codes for F5/F2/F7 releases are, but think that they may be: F5: 0xBF F2: 0xBC F7: 0xC1 -- With best regards, xrgtn
