ins/del/pgup/pgdn etc keys on the left side of keyboards more often? I have a "Goldtouch" ergonomic keyboard with those extra keys on the left, the 2 windows keys are in the top right corner and the thing has a ball joint between the two halves to allow you to get the best angle for your wrists, not just the fixed angle that MS specifies. The two things it gives up are a dedicated numeric keypad and and dedicated F11/F12 keys (available through a Fn lock, like laptops.) The cursor keys are on the right, southeast of ctrl, shift and enter. The extra keys on the left rather than right are so that you can select stuff with your right hand with the mouse, then act on it with your left. Worked well, until I decided I'd worn my right hand out so much that now I have a trackpad I use with my left hand. The keys on the Goldtouch are loud and clicky and IMHO pretty nice to type on.
