Yes, the Extended keyboards work just as fine on the GS as the regular ones.
In fact, if you happen to know the right soft-toggle registers to examine
(I'm not sure whether on not DiversiKeys supports this), you can make use of
the function (F1-F12, page down, etc.) keys as well.  I took the keyboard from
an SE and tinkered with it a bit, thought it was interesting, but reverted
back to my standard GS keyboard anyhow.  Unless you have the deskspace, the
extended keyboard is HUGE by comparison.
