Yes: http://www.sun.com/desktop/products/peripherals/keyboard/index.xml
Be sure you get the "UNIX" version.
The current model is the type 7 - I like it more than the type 6. I
think the only thing that changed is that the body is smaller - the
key layout is the same as far as I can tell. The key action feels a
little improved, but that might just be the fault of my sample - an
old type 6 vs. a new type 7.
The mouse is also pretty nice - three buttons with a scroll wheel,
nothing to complain about.
Apparently Sun only sells them as a keyboard & mouse combo, for $50.
