As an alternative to the "remap caps lock to esc or ctrl" crowd, I'd like to suggest remapping to scroll lock. I don't need easier access to esc or ctrl, so I decided to pick a different key. Scroll lock doesn't really get used for anything important (in my workflow) and provides an extra key to use in bindings for your text editor or games. I've been using it for about a decade and it gives me a bit of additional utility for a key that I wouldn't otherwise use.

On a 60% and no idea where scroll lock lives (time to check the manual). But I've come to really prefer ctrl in place of capslock. I'm also somewhat of a madlad as I remap every game I play from wasd to esdf. This allows my pinky to use 'a' key for functions normally mapped to shift (like running in games), have two 'shoulder' keys (instead of q/e its qw/rt) and I can leverage the finder-key bumps for quicker hand placement. It costs a single 5 minutes per game but provides and overall more ergonomic (and consistent with touch typing) experience, in my opinion. There are also a few other benefits, but I won't go into them. Figured if I had the patience to learn/write emacs chords, I could do this much, and it paid off quickly.
