Sharp Keys is a application that someone has mentioned, however I haven't used it but Google should be able to assist.

Hi all, Today I substituted the keyboard I was given for the Mac with a USB standard Windows keyboard. I was asked to press certain keys on the keyboard and the Mac politely recognized the Windows keyboard. It assigned the Command key to the Windows key, (the key right of the control key on the left). Because of some hand problems I am having, I would like the VoiceOver keys to be close together like they are on the Mac without the Command key being in the middle. On the right side of the keyboard, it did not assign the Applications key to anything, so I can only use the VoiceOver modifier keys on the left. So, here is the question.

Is there any way to remap these keys on the Mac?

Thanks for your help. By the way, I like this keyboard because it is more like a desktop keyboard with stair steps between the rows of keys rather than being flat like a laptop keyboard. I just make more mistakes on the flat keyboard. I can certainly live with what I have, but first, I wanted to make sure I had to.
