I can't recommend remapping your caps lock key highly enough. The only disadvantage is that you can't use that key for the normal caps lock functionality, but I rarely type in all caps anyway so don't miss it. After doing the remap, I have never needed to touch the control and option keys on the right side of my full-sized keyboard, so Macbook users should find this extremely helpful.
