Manufacturers are allowed to make any non standard buttons they want and
make them do whatever they want. The standards are things you can plan for
or fix but there is no telling what people will do.

at the start of the game i also get this message

Keyboard layout unknown, please send the following to the SDL mailing
list (sdl at libsdl.org):

and none of the keys work in the game obviously. Regardless of
recognizing the layout, could you not send the keyboard event to the
game so that something actually happens when i press it?–

Not really. SDL needs to remap the input (platform-dependent) to its
own scancodes (platform-independent) so programs can use them, and if
it doesn’t know to what scancode does a key map, it doesn’t know what
scancode it should return, so it does nothing.

Yay portability ._.’
