Ironically MS make some great peripherals. The Sculpt ergonomic keyboard is pretty good, and when I inevitably break some keys trying to clean them, I unpack old reliable Natural 4000 and clack away again.

    Btw, I probably mentioned this elsewhere: MS Natural's humongous alt keys, mapped to the main modifier cmd in Mac, are a revelation. I'm not having ctrl under the pathetic pinky finger in Linux or Windows ever again.

    Yeah, I've already set that up on my system — although Cinnamon doesn't allow some more complex setups, seemingly just like KDE. Gonna have to look into xkb remapping.

    Mac is again ahead here, because open-source Karabiner allows arbitrary mappings and different mappings per keyboard (e.g. built-in vs external ones).

    I've already went through all the denial and bargaining stages, and have accepted that I'll have to read manuals for xkb.

    There are various utils that purport to offer easier configuration, but then again I'd need to read up on them and choose which one is better.
