Hey!!!!  It's not el-cheapo.  :-)  I have it, it's called standard
keyboard II.  Believe it or not, I actully like the layout very
much.  ESC is right by the space bar, which feels akward at first, but
now I believe it's in the most convinent spot ever!

I wouldn't trade this keyboard for anything...

I also have the CuttingEdge extended keyboard, which has the exact same
layout as the Apple extended keyboard.  It works just fine.

It doesn't work with Eric's KeyNotifier CDev though.  :-|  (but I don't 
like this keyboard much anyway...)  PCT's PC mode can use the functions
, and the lights work in PC mode too!
