I'm not sure regarding the ASCII part. I think it
might need to be set to 0x00 for all functional
keys instead of 0x3F/0x3C/0x41, but probably no
application actually cares.

Another thing is that you may need to send key
release after key press in order for the
application to trigger the F5/F2/F7 event. I'm not
sure what the scan codes for F5/F2/F7 releases
are, but think that they may be:

F5: 0xBF
F2: 0xBC
F7: 0xC1
