I used to use uControl on my iBook but never really started using my "new Ctrl" while I used the iBook keyboard. Now I got a Happy Hacking Lite2 keyboard whose left side has exactly the layout in the picture: Ctrl where it's supposed to be, and note that Esc is also much closer than it would be on the "regular layout", so you actually don't have to leave the home row for Vim editing at all. The only thing that I'd replace without a second thought is that I'd stick on a full set of F keys. Now only way I can press F1 is by pressing Fn+1.
This is one sweet, sweet keyboard, has two downstream USB ports, is tidy black, and not an inch wider than it needs to be. I only need to rotate my right hand 15 degrees towards the right, keeping the elbow on the desk, and my hand is on the mouse. Reverse, my hand is on the home row.
