I am sitting at the keyboard at this time and have no problem seeing the bottom row of controls. The bezel is really not blocking me and I am not that far above the board.

I was also wondering - Jeremy commented about that bottom row - I see there are 6 "balloons" and 6 Assignable buttons... wonder if you can configure the "balloons" at the bottom of the screen to reflect the Assignables settings? That would eliminate any head scratching regarding what the Assignable buttons may be assigned to? If not a current capability, maybe a firmware upgrade?
