I just purchased an ASUS N53S laptop and am having problems with the keyboard. Some keys (such as o, t, or y) are bound by default to software shortcuts. For example, o opens the Power 4 Gear menu, y opens the help menu etc.
I checked and have Sticky keys disabled and the Windows key does not seem to be stuck (although when I press the Windows key, it triggers the application Power 4 Gear as well as the control panel). This keyboard problem is driving me nuts. Any thoughts?

Those types of programs are usually as an application loading during the boot process. I would run HijackThis to see what is loading, particularly in the RUN keys, that is related to ASUS. You may realize which one it is by its name, but if not, Google the names of the ASUS programs to get descriptions. You are bound to hit on it, then check in in HijackThis, and let HJT delete it from the regustry for you.
If you are not sure, post back a screenshot of your HijackThis results, and send me a note @kcotreau.
