If you use keyremap4macbook, you can get modifiers on both sides of the keyboard. What I do is change return to be return when pressed by itself but control when placed in combination. So on the right side of the keyboard, I have command and option and by reaching just a little and adding return I have vo keys. I also happen to use the configuration that allows caps lock to be voiceover keys so I have two options on the left side. They are some other ways to set up the right side of your keyboard with keyremap4macbook so you could play around with it if you are interested and maybe find something that works for you. I also like having vo-keys on both sides so I used the larger old bluetooth Apple keyboard until it died and also still do have the usb keyboard with the full numeric keypad. I like having options.
