Keyboard with extension keys and method for setting key codes of the extension keys thereof

摘要

A keyboard with extension keys and method for setting key codes of the extension keys thereof is described. The main body of the keyboard has a setting key and extension keys disposed thereon, and has a keyboard controller and a memory disposed therein. The keyboard controller is used to control the main body and the memory is used to store the key codes of the extension keys. The setting key is used to actuate a setting routine to set the key codes of the extension keys and then, a user can choose one of the extension keys and input a setting string by pressing standard keys. The setting string is stored in the memory as the key code of the chosen extension key. Thereby, the user can define the key codes of the extension keys so that the extension keys can be full of variety.
