Bingo! Macro keys! They are the handiest things since indoor plumbing. I have mine plumbed...er...programed for oddball characters (— ° °C °F ˘ © €) so I don't have to go running to the character map so often, program links (like this one; two key stroke creates this),
Macrium Reflect Free (do not download from the homepage; this page is safer to download from). Here is a good tutorial on how to use Macrium Reflect.

I'm currently using a Logitech G110. It has three banks of 12 macro keys (each macro key can hold three macros). I also love the audio controls on it. The original reason I wanted this keyboard was keyboards nowadays use decals to label the keys. Unfortunately, the decals wear off pretty quickly. Because of my learning disabilities, I need for those keys to be labeled. I figured a lighted keyboard would have the labeling going clear through the key and wouldn't wear out. So far, that has been true. I never realized how handy the macro keys were going to be until I had them. Now, I will never be without them except when using my notebook.
Amazon put the Logitech G510s on sale and I pulled the trigger on it yesterday. That puppy has three banks of 18 macro keys. While it's not likely I will ever need 54 macros, having 18 macro keys available "on top" will be handy. I have no idea what I will use the little LCD screen for but I'm sure I'll get hooked on it.
