I'm looking for software that will allow me to map unused keys on a keyboard to activate functions of my choosing. Namely I'm trying to get the Fn key working. So, I can map the F1-F12 keys to work with their appropriate symbols when I do a combo. Such as the F2 key has an envelope symbol so Fn+F2 should open my e-mail program.

I've got two keyboards I use with this computer. A Logitech MK700 and a Logitech K400r. Yes, I've tried the latest Logitech Control Center. They are not recognized. Which doesn't surprise me as Logitech does not provide Mac drivers for these models.

I've tried setting up Shortcuts in the Keyboard System Pane. It simply does not recognize when I depress the Fn key.
