Really?  Do you hold the key down a long (>1 sec) time, or 
does it matter?  Are you doing this in the dark on a dark 
surface, or light surface in ambient light?  This is awesome 
news, as I've tried a lot of combinations and never gotten 
the basic naviation (arrow down, left, up, right, enter, etc.) 
to work.  Not to mention my macros.  Now that I hear it can 
be done, I'd love to hear the conditions under which you got 
it working.
