There was an early Apple ADB keyboard with control in the "right" place. I

drakaware.com makes a variety of keyboard adapters, including a Sun to USB
if you just can't give up your Type 5 (or type 4!)

I hated it when the PC-AT came along and moved
Ctrl down and Esc up! I
depend on Ctrl being to the left of A and Esc left of 1, where God
intended them to be! I used a Sun keyboard with a DIN adapter for
years, until I came to SDG&E in 2007 and discovered a cache of USB Sun
keyboards, half with the UNIX layout (yay!) and half with the PC
layout (boo!) Word got around quickly that I liked them, and I wound
up with several UNIX layout Sun keyboards. For good measure, I bought
a 10-pack on eBay, so I'll have spares until the day they peel my cold
dead fingers away from my UNIX layout keyboard.
My Sun UNIX layout keyboards (and
mice) work quite well with my Macs. I
share your sentiments.
