This just popped into my DBRAM...
 

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?

My keyboard has volume controls.

What brand is it?

some thing be sides Packard Bell

Mine has volume controls, too. Macbook Pro.

Dell RT7D10.

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.

My Dell Inspiron 8200 (laptop) has dedicated volume, play/pause, stop, forward, and reverse.
