OK, I can say the following from my experience:
* It's a Microsoft Natural Keyboard (may be "... Pro").
* It's a US-English style layout, I think 104 keys (Windows + Menu keys)
* It's got 16 special-function keys across the top, above the Fn keys:
- back
- forward
- stop
- refresh
- search
- favourites
- web/home
- mail
- mute
- volume -
- volume +
- play/pause
- stop
- prev track
- next track
- media
* It's got 3 special function keys above the keypad:
- my computer
- calculator
- sleep
* It has three led lights for num-lock, caps-lock and scroll-lock.
* It has a cable that splits near the computer end, with PS/2 and USB
connectors.
* It has a 2 port USB hub built in.
* It has a serial number: 5157703025042, and other stickers underneath.
* I've been able to make Linux consoles and X work with it.
* The PS connector works under Linux kernels 2.4.[246].
* I've been able to make it work using the USB connector with 2.4.4.
* I haven't tried to use the special "multimedia keys".
That's a start anyway.
cheers
