It is possible that the keys dont actually do anything other than for example C-A-S-F1 (Control Alt Shift F1). I have had a couple keyboards that were like this. There is nothing to detect unless the key is hit. One example is a Yahoo Keyboard. I figured this out one day while I was playing with a keyboard mapper. I hit the key, and it displayed CASF1 which meant it was a keysequence of the above. Its possible your keyboard might do the same thing.
