I found this after sending my other mail, which might clarify things: http://www.logitech.com/assets/42358/k360-quick-start-guide.pdf This has a chart of the default mappings, like "FN + F1 = Launces browser". I would _guess_ that sends a keycode that X sees as XF86_Something. You can check with "xev -event keyboard", focus the window that appears, and press the keys to see what codes they send. Then you can bind them, with the tools of your choice. Xfce has a graphical interface to bind keys to applications or window manager functions, I would guess most other environments also have this. The PDF says you need the Win software to remap the keys, but that is probably just to bind them to different functions in Windows, and shouldn't have any effect under Linux. Hope this helps.
