There are 21 buttons as described for the 5181. The 5308 has 19 buttons and 1 knob AND a USB port for a mouse. The 5181 does not have a

"Of The six drivers i have downloaded none work properly on my computer.

Probably something to do with my computer, I can't even find out what happened to the original drivers, they just disappeared and the keyboard quit functioning properly."

"I have found a driver for the HP Keyboard. HP claims it is a generic driver for all of their Multimedia Keyboards. Although I have a 5181.

"I thought the driver was working just fine, until I accidentally hit a driver-supported key while the driver manager was open and it caused a fatal Windows XP (Home) crash. After being forced to run a complete system restore and spending three hours reconfiguring... everything, my opinion has changed. Considerably."
