Works well out of box.

All of necessary buttons work as you would expect. however " and @ are swapped when pressed but this could be because of software (havn't looked for fix yet)

Only some of hot key buttons work out of box. the ones that do are (numbers refer to numbers used in manual (1-33 clockwise from bottom left)):
mark (4),
Scroll Wheel (5),
Scroll right (7), although instead of scrolling right it right clicks
System Shut down (8), brings up system shut down menu
System Standby (9), locks screen
My computer(10),
Calculator (12),
Previous track (20),
Next track (21),
Stop (22),
Play/pause (23),
mute (24),
Open CD tray (25), Opens media player
Volume Dial (26),
Bookmark (28),
Back (29),
Forward (29),
Stop (33),

some of the things that are different cold have been because i have played around with the keyboard shortcuts.

Overall very good, will be working to get rest of keys working properly soon, using keytouch.

would recommend if you like lots of extra buttons.
