The problem is this keyboard is not very well made.

What I'd really like to have is a modern version of the old Apple  
keyboards, or a Mac version of the Model M.

I have a Matias USB 2.0 keyboard and I love the layout.  The membrane  
is better than most, but still not what I want.  Mostly I like the  
layout and the keycaps printing.

Also, *HUGE* plus, the Matias USB 2.0 keyboard has the control key to  
the left of A where God intended for it to be.
