Well, i'm not so sure that we can switch the locations of the caps lock key and
the control key. The caps lock key is a different mechanism than the control
key. (ie: it stays in when you press down).

It's too bad, I really like the new keyboards, the smaller size and nice key
press "feel" but I couldn't stand having the control and escape key down on
the bottom.
