I was sittin' here listening to some music using Zoom Player which let's me control the volume with the up & down arrow keys, but if I'm working in another application, I have to switch to ZP just to change the volume, and I thought "It'd be great if my keyboard had two extra up & down arrows just for volume control." The user could increase or decrease speaker volume no matter what application he/she is using at the time. Basically, it's a keyboard version of Windows' built-in master volume control, but it's a bit easier and quicker.

Whatcha think?

Did you buy it seperately? Cuz my E521 just came with a standard Dell keyboard.

Anyway, I found a free alternative (click here).

About half the aftermarket keyboards have additional keys for stuff. The problem is that there is no standard, so the Logitech keys need a different driver than the Microsoft keys etc.

It was an option.
