I have one in use since ~5 years. The typing feel is a lot better 
compared to the Logitech keyboard I had before.

The only problem I have with mine is that it's not usable with the boot 
loader menu. It seems to be hardware related as it works fine with other 
computers (using different chipsets).

The only keyboard-specific thing I have in my rc.conf is 'keymap="us.iso"'.

My xorg.conf contains the following entries in the "InputDevice" section:
Option "XkbRules"   "xorg"
Option "XkbModel"   "pc101"
Option "XkbLayout"  "us"

I say it should work right out of the box ;-) In addition, I did 
configure a .xmodmaprc to get umlauts, etc.

HTH,
Philipp
