I'm using MS Natural 4000 with a Macbook. Alt and Win keys are remapped through the standard settings, the context menu key is remapped with Karabiner. Some extra keys can be mapped, only alas the numbered ones aren't seen even by USB Overdrive.
(Of course, the Natural/Sculpt series barely scrapes the ‘ergonomics,’ what with the slanted key layout inherited from typewriters, the flat board made for extendable fingers instead of jointed ones, the too-low wrist pad.)
As for the special keys, I'm not sure what that's about, since I'm using pretty much the same number of hotkeys as I did in Linux and a bit more than in Windows. I'm also using Alfred for many commands, which are made in English instead of obscure semi-random keys.
