    Has anyone got a good solution for using an external 101-key keyboard with a mac and having all the command keys available? I know there's the remapping thing in the system prefs, but that doesn't give enough granularity, so that I'm always missing capslock or control, and have to change it back whenever I unplug the keyboard. I'm sure this is a problem other people (who haven't wanted to sacrifice their Capslock keys) have bumped into from time to time. Thanks for any help :)

    the best solution would be to get an Apple based keyboard honestly, there are a few aftermarket Apple keyboards but honestly the regular Apple keyboard is not to bad at all.

    I've got 104-key keyboards. That's not the issue. My 101-key keyboard is a Model M. After using that, using some newer, lesser keyboard would be... some kind of sin.
