Non-Audio/Visual Keysets
At the moment there are a few keysets in Pierogi that are provided to control infra-red equipment other than Audio/Visual. Due to the way Pierogi keysets are laid out, these buttons my have functions other than there label description. A list of key mappings are:-

Bugs
When people find a keyset that works with their device. I would like to know
- Do all the buttons work?
- Are there missing buttons?
- Are there buttons swapped around?
I'd love to hear about it when a keyset does not perform as expected.
