I can do if required, although I didn't originally since there would be no 
common code whatsoever between the keyboards. The newer keyboard has no 
leds to register, and no trackpoint settings are exposed like on the older 
keyboard. Equally the newer Fn-Lock setting wouldn't make sense for the 
older keyboards, since they have grown-up function keys. The similarity 
stops with the name.

I have both the USB and the Bluetooth versions of this keyboard now, 
once I have finished support for both[0] I will resubmit support for both.
