If the keyboard has keys not covered by ggi/keyboard.h, please post
all the information you have on the key (it's location on the keyboard,
all text written on it, whether it has any LED(s) associated with it,
what it's function/purpose is (if known) and whether it should be
considered a modifier or a normal key) and we will add it to the API.

I don't know anything about IR devices, but I'll be happy to answer
any questions you may have about LibGII.
