its a MS natural elite or whatever, the one where the insert/delete/home/end/pgup/pgdn keys are in the CORRECT order. it changes the volume, but just the windows volume, and i've heard you can control winamp w/ it. how?

i control my winamp with these nifty buttons on the top of my keyboard that say "play/pause" "stop" "next track" "previous track"

Go into your winamp options.. and under playback the options are show.
its like
Z = previous
X = Pause
C = Play
V = Stop
B = Next

plus the number pad has special controls. LIke 5 is for play and pause, 4 and 6 are to move tracks.. 7 and 9 to search within a track. 1 is to restart and 3 I believe is random I think.

i did mean using the "multimedia" keys, they do not currently control it.

the_good_guy: that only works when the winamp is focused. i wanna control it while its in the background.

actually, he's serious. I have the same keyboard, a Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro. It has browser buttons, CD Player buttons (buttons work with winamp even if Winamp is minimized), My Comp, Calculator, and Sleep buttons

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I love this keyboard. It was part of an Intellimouse w/Intellieye and Keyboard Pro package. This combo kicks some major @ss
