The conditions 2, 3, 4 are still fairly commonly met although it seems to be harder to get such keyboard recently - at least here. However I thought that the condition 1 was abandoned when the original IBM AT keyboards stopped shipping :).

It's no different than putting the Nike swoosh in place of the N key on some keyboards or the Starbucks logo on the S key on others.
