If you mean is it left/right symmetric, the answer is yes. Here are the
details on the Kensington site....

I found a place to order one near me, they don't actually know if
it is in stock, $63Aust. I ordered one.

Hopefully you will be as satisfied with yours as I am with mine --
otherwise "Mud" be my name! :-)

The wireless keyboard I wish Apple would make is what I'll dub the
"2/3" keyboard, one that has the section to the right of the typewriter
area but not the numeric pad area. I have the Apple wired aluminum
keyboard and I do like having the arrow keys separate from the
typewriter area.

This is making me think I might be irritated not having a
numeric keypad. maybe a wire is not so bad (it is what I always
have had) and unlike with a mouse, the wire hardly gets in the
way of anything really.
