Key Maps
The 95-key keyboard supports all 104 keyboard functions (101 keyboard standard plus Windows keys) and includes an
integrated pointing device and left and right mouse buttons. However, because the keyboard only has 95 keys, all
functions are not visible (or printed on the keyboard). Therefore the Thor VX9 keyboard supports what is called hidden
keys -- keys that are accessible but not visible on the keyboard.
As with a standard keyboard, many keys are found in the Alphanumeric section as well as on the Numeric keypad (i.e.
the 1 key is found on the numeric keypad and above the alpha characters on standard keyboards). However these
keys send distinctly different scan codes when the keys are pressed. The hidden keys supported by the Thor VX9 are
