Dell USB Enhanced Multimedia Keyboard

Im using jkey and scankey.
I have the other multimedia buttons working but the knob for volume doesnt show up anything when using scankey, i assume this is because its not a button at all. Has anyone figured out what scancode the volume knob is or have a program to find that code other then scankey.

I attached the link to the keyboard so you can see what im using. I also did quite a few searches before making this post none of them told me anything other then scankey, which doesnt seem to pickup the knob movement, maybe its more like a mouse scroll wheel.

Thanks for any responses.

Is there software for it that you can customize the knob with? If there's like a "knob clockwise/counterclockwise" separate action, you could pass vbang_lite !bangs to litestep.exe. If not, no idea...

you might check and make sure that said software has started also. we have had problems in the past with things like that not starting up as they should.

the keyboard came with no software and couldnt find any on support.dell.com but all the other media keys worked out of the box play mute next track previous etc all work using jkey just the knob doesnt seem to do anything and scankey doesnt show any keycodes when i turn it left or right. if i turn off litestep it controls windows volume fine.

Man, I wonder how those things actually work. Like officially.

I thought (along with xcal and DeV it seems) that some 3rd party software loads up and "receives" whatever messages are sent.

But I am starting to think it might be a windows thing.

Because, my (shit Acer) remote control (which I have never used as I am an LS junkie) doesnt send and "scankey" type codes, nor is there any obvious app that I coiuld load up to get it to work...

It would be interesting to get some final say on the matter. I am gonna google it right now ;)
