uControl gives you the ability to take those useless keys, that you're certain would have been better fashioned as something else, and turn them into something useful. It started out as a simple hack to remap the caps lock key to a control key but has since evolved into a fairly sophisticated means of not only remapping modifier keys, but gives your trackpad a virtual scroll wheel, or gives lefties a sensible mouse, or gives people with disabilities the ability to type with one hand. Note: the one-handed typing ability has been removed due to possible patent infringement.

If you are disappointed at not being able to remap modifier keys (option, command etc) on individual keyboards (for instance, if you use a USB PC-style keyboard as well as your iBook / PowerBook one)then a workaround applescript has been posted at MacGeekery.
http://www.macgeekery.com/tips/configuration/gui_automation_with_applescript
Basically it will automate the operation of remapping modifier keys in System Preferences, but be sure to read the comments at the bottom of the page as the way the script is presented it will not compile.

1. Open Terminal (leave it open until you restart your computer)
2. In Terminal type (one line at a time):
rm ~/Library/Preferences/org.gnufoo.kext.uControl.plist
cd ~/Desktop
mkdir ucontrolfix
cd ucontrolfix
curl -O http://gnufoo.org/ucontrol/ucontrol1.4.4.tgz
tar zxvf ucontrol1.4.4.tgz
cd ucontrol1.4.4/src
open -a textedit.app kext/ODHIDHack.cpp
3. The last line in Terminal should open a file in TextEdit. Now find this line:
IOHIDSystem::instance()->scrollWheelEventGated(scrollY, scrollX, 0, ts, NULL);
and replace it with this:
IOHIDSystem::instance()->scrollWheelEvent(scrollY, scrollX, 0, ts);
4. Save the file and close TextEdit
5. In Terminal type (one line at a time):
make
sudo make install
6. Restart your computer

"Copy installer to hard drive, right click/control click and choose 'show package contents', delete the file called 'Installation Check' in Contents/Resources. Install and uControl work!"
