My only real complaint about the new Apple keyboards is the fairly short
travel the keys enjoy.  The response is crisp and consistent.

One minor nit that I have is that the caps lock key does not tend to
stay activated when pressed at its right edge, which only effects me
because I have it remapped as a second Control key.

Outside of those two complaints, it's the keyboard Apple should've
shipped directly after retiring the Extended II.

The "Vendor" key is universally standardized.  The Meta key on a Sun
keyboard will work as Command/Win.
