    For some reason (probably just random choice) I mapped Windows key to
    Hyper in my Emacs setup back in 90s. I see that Super is kind of
    standard now, but it is easier to change system settings than all
    keybindings in Emacs configs.

    There were some Sun keyboards that were USB and had more modifiers and
    other keys. Is there any such thing being currently manufactured? With
    decent keyboard quality?
