  I use a Happy Hacking Lite2 Keyboard (non-mac), for the most part,
  attached to a Mac Mini with OS X. I have a numeric keypad on the
  left which I've also set up for emacs and a logitech trackball on
  the right.

  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Hacking_Keyboard
  Second image on right for similar model.

  Alternatively I use any of several netbooks. Those are running
  lubuntu with fluxbox and have the control and capslock switched
  via xmodmap. Generally I'm ssh'd onto the Mac from a netbook.

  I seldom use the 'alt' key, prefering Ctl-[ or ESC. ESC is on the
  left on all machines that I have to use.

  Looking into foot pedals.... Fortunately for me, I am semi-retired
  and what emacs work I do is at home and almost never for more than
  two hours.
