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?
