   Don't arrow keys have the same key scan codes? AFAIK, IBM PC compatible   
   keyboard scan code differences are mostly the prefix code of extended keys,   
   not the key code itself.

   What keyboards have you used? I'm curious because I'm kind of obsessed with   
   keyboards. Especially the ones with 24 function keys. :)   
      
   OT...   
   BTW, do you know the scan codes for Meta, Hyper, and Super keys? I've   
   already searched the net for the technical specifications of keyboards which   
   have those keys, but there doesn't seem to be any available.
