That is a REALLY neat idea, best use I have seen for those stupid keys yet.
I would do it right away myself, except that after considerable time searching I now have a new keyboard sans stupid Microsoft keys.
For those who wish to acquire the same, you have basically two options (aside the lovely but very expensive Happy Hacker and other specialist keyboards)
Locate an IBM type M keyboard (there are companies remanufacturing these I think) or order a replacement keyboard as a spare part for any recent Compaq/ HP server, they are really quite nice and are available in White or Black I went for the Compaq/HP as I never particularly got on with the old style IBM keyboards or the noise they make whilst in use.
