[edit] Special features
If the keyboard type contains multimedia buttons, the user can define them to execute any program or action they desire.
[edit] Limitations
If the keyboard type contains multimedia buttons, the user can define them, but only globally and not per application.
Version 6.2 forces the user to constantly check for updates by installing and launching the file "dpupdchk.exe" in the background. It must stay in the background for the control panel's settings to launch (although it could be avoided by renaming the file to something else).
