I recently bought "Apple Keyboard MB869LL/A", the wired one with no numeric keyboard or other keys that are usually on the right-hand side. I got it in part because my Mac Pro has the wider keyboard, and I feel I have to repetitively stretch too far to get to my mouse — this is non-trivial when using apps that have multiple input modes, such as Ableton Live and Second Life.
My only problem with the MB869LL/A is the awkward positioning of the Fn key in the lower-left corner, since I often expect Control to be there. I use this keyboard KVM'ed between a Mac and PC, and while the Fn key can be remapped on the Mac, Windows utilities like SharpKeys don't recognize it.
Do you know of an equivalent to this keyboard that does *not* have the Fn key in that sore spot, or even a Windows utility that can remap it to make it do the same thing as the Ctrl key in Windows 7?
