    Hi,

    I have a rather cosmetic issue with my M14x.
    Some special keys (like the eject button) require the Alien OSD software to be installed, but I dont like the actual Alien OSD because a) It captures the mouse when InGame b) Its fugly and c) Win8 already has an OSD.

    So, is there any way to remove the actual OSD but keep the key drivers working?

    Thanks,

    Naelo
