Does anybody have the MCE wireless keyboard codes. I see alot of the remote codes for the MCE remote but I need a complete set of keyboard codes that would work with the MCE USB receiver...I presume Microsoft uses the same USB receiver for the wireless keyboard and remote.

In the files area I see one for the MCE keyboard but it is listed for the Sony Vaio MCE machine. It may be using a different code because I can't get it to work. Perhaps it is becuase I didn't do the debounce hack? But I downloaded someone else's MCE remote codes and they work without the hack.

Even without debounce the codes should work at least once. And if the Pronto detects them as RC6 (as it should) it would work better without debounce. There are multiple MCE codesets used by OEMs, so that's probably the issue (not sure how you would correct it).

I have one of those MCE IR keyboards, and there's so much stuff (lowercase, uppercase, numpad, ctrl+, alt+, etc) learning it all is a rather daunting prospect.

The MCE IR codes are a form of RC6 mode 6A. It does include a toggle bit.

If the Pronto does not correctly process the toggle bit, AND the device does not have the registry entry for disabling that feature, then using the same key twice in a row would fail.

I don't recall whether there are any models of Pronto that correctly process the toggle bit for MCE. Most or all models of Pronto can correctly process the toggle bit for RC6 mode 0 (normally just called "RC6"). But this is not the same thing. Some versions of ProntoEdit understand a special condensed form of Pronto Hex for RC6 mode 6a, but even in that form they don't get the toggle bit right.
