Question about
Is there a way to remap a MBP's F3 key?
I have a pre-Lion early 2011 unibody Macbook Pro and I'd like to remap the Dashboard key to Launchpad (I'm already running Lion on this machine). I'd like to remap the key on my BT Apple keyboard as well.

You can use Spark to setup a hotkey. www.shadowlab.org/Software/spark.php
Then use Function Flip kevingessner.com/software/functionflip and just modify the F3 key.
This would set F3 as Launchpad and Fn+F3 as Mission Control.

Thanks for the replies, but I think I'm just going to have to live with it. Spark and FF haven't been updated in some time and I couldn't figure them out and $35 is a bit much to remap a single key! :)
