I've used both, now, and I personally find the LogicKeyboard layout
to be superior. PowerKeys relies too heavily on the F keys (because
there used to be a place to paste a big label on the older Apple
keyboards). Now, the only keyboard that even fits those labels is the
MacAlly, and it doesn't fit them well (the rounded lump that sticks
out by the space bar requires some weird label positioning).
LogicKeyboard has every key labeled with two commands (and there are
additional mapped commands with other modifiers, too). The molded-in
labeling is much better then the paste on labels that seem to fall
off instantly. Plus, it's really efficient to have key commands
marked and labeled for all the keys not on the edge. The grouping of
all the automation controls in one location is also nice.
I had an email from PowerKeys a long time ago that said they might be
coming out with a new (molded) product, but I got tired of waiting.
They don't seem that interested in further development. In contrast,
LogicKeyboard is a lot more on top of things. A new key command set
and a few replacement keys were available for LogicKeyboard soon
after Logic version 6.0 came out.
