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.
