That would be the correct way to go if MP2 was using the HID hardware abstraction layer. As far as I can see, it is not, which may explain why you don't get the desired results.

This part of MP2 requires an overwork. Ideally we could interest people like [USER=140174]@Stéphane Lenclud[/USER] to port the HID work that he did under MP1 to MP2. At this time - and sadly there is no indication that this will change - we are very short of developer resources. In the end it is everybody's individual choice what he/she wants to spend efforts on. The missing input support is reflected in the Feature Request section. It has gotten a little bit better with the new Input Manager, however, some global Windows media functions are not implemented in MP2. Again this is an indirect consequence of the missing full HID abstraction.

I hope that this helps to better understand the situation.
