When I'm chatting, it uses the Windows keymapping.
When I'm playing, it uses the physical locations of the keys, so that the key setup screen looks exactly the same as where I push buttons to get results.
I guess if the software was working on a more basic level it would be ok. But just changing the key mapping does nothing for me.
Or if your keyboard was actually laid out in Dvorak style and sent the electrical signals like that, it would probably be sending the right signals so that MS didn't think you were pressing "ASDF" on the homerow keys.
I'm quite surprised that MS takes a root scan code rather then Window's native one. Maybe Windows just doesn't have a good keymapper, I'm using a re-keymapper (?) to shift a few keys around, but I'm not sure when exactly it intercepts the key presses.
Hmm, that could make keymapping a tad more illegal then I thought? Still, I doubt it could be caught. JoyToKey is still workable, and that's a thousand times worse then a simple key map.
But yea, if you physically switch the wires MS will definitely recognize it properly. However that would be unconventional, and probably illegal =P
