I m am going to figure out how to program
- Windows key
- vol up, down, mute
- a few Excel keystroke combinations

I wish it were gray, but the gray Model M's cost $300 and the black ones are similarly priced. This one is too nice to mess with but if I find a cheaper one, I might get it and paint the case. You can get replacement and even custom keycaps.
