A lot of this stuff gets swallowed by the ws driver before it ever
gets high enough up the stack for anything to see it. I tried diving
in a long time ago to find the "extra" keys on my microsoft natural
keyboard. I'm afraid that although I verified the USB device was
sending the codes I gave up after a while trying to understand the
wscons stuff well enough to fix the issue.

FYI, there is documentation on Microsoft's web site about all sorts of
key codes a modern keyboard can generate over USB -- there is this big
table I got the last time I was playing with this.
