They finally came up with a key for that? Are they on Bb's too, or
only on the "professional" models, as if the amateurs don't have a
need?

I have a passage that was really hard to play with the G# only
available on the right hand (lowest register):

all 32nd-notes at a not-too-quick tempo-
C#-lowest F#-G#-A#-B-C#-D-E- 2nd F#

If you try it you'll see there's a juggling problem between the
hands, it doesn't go smoothly from one to the other. A key for the G#
in the left hand would clear that up pronto.
