What exactly is a "Mac" keyboard? I'm looking at a macbook keyboard and a Dell laptop keyboard. The only difference I can see are the Control, Fn, Super, and Alt keys are rearranged. There is an extra right super on the macbook, but no right control key.

The spacing on Mac and Windows keyboards definitely feel different, and are rather disorienting if you are used to Windows style keyboards. There is no del on Mac either.

A proper Mac keybaord has symmetric modifier keys (3 on each side of the spacebar) and an asterisk key in the upper right of the numpad.
