Looking around a bit more, the following should definitely be removed from 
wistron_btns:

Acer Aspire 3020
Acer Aspire 5020

The following I'm not entirely sure on these, but they _probably_ should be 
removed:

Acer TravelMate 2100
Acer TravelMate 2410 (identical hardware to the Aspire 1610, which is known to 
generate scancodes)
Acer TravelMate 2424NWXCi (aka TravelMate 2420 series)

As a rule of thumb, if the laptop is based on Acer's "folio" design, which 
they've used for most of the TravelMate and Aspire laptops from 2004 to the 
present day (although some of the newer ones are now using a different 
design), and/ or the model/ series number is a four digit one (such as 5020), 
it shouldn't be in wistron_btns (the Aspire 1500 and Aspire 1600 I would make 
an exception for, as they don't appear to be based on the "folio" design, and 
therefore don't fit this pattern).
