I was hoping you wouldn't ask that! I can't remember exactly, but I was
trying to get some of the 'media' keys to do something useful, i.e.
theoretically I should be able to control the CD player audio mode.
Currently I have most of the HID settings on default and am only using it
to swap the adjust and select button round on the mouse, being left-handed,
and also to get scroll wheel support.
