I have the Logitech DiNovo Bluetooth set and would highly recommend it.

Can't this be fixed (under Windows) by remapping the scan codes using
an appropriate regkey. For example the following is a reg file I put
together as a practical joke which swaps the vowels on the keyboard
around - (try typing your password now...!!!)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode
Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,06,00,00,00,12,00,1e,00,17,00,12,00,\
18,00,17,00,18,00,17,00,16,00,18,00,1e,00,16,00,00,00,00,00
