You also have power and control but you aren't a king,
Sleep and wake up but you aren't a living thing.
You 'see' with all four five of your eyes. (The 'I' key, an 'i' on each Shift and the 'i' on the 'Print Screen' key and, as Phlagellum pointed out,  the 'I' on the insert key.)
 
You are poor but have all the signs of money
Can make faces if something is funny :)
And sometimes I have to ask myself 'why':
 
You have a star that's not in the clouds,
Can escape when it's not allowed.
And normally house three sets of bees (The 'b' key, the 'B' on the 'break' key and the 'b' on the Tab key)
 
You can shift things around to make them look tall
You have windows (sometimes) but not a single wall
And there are locks (three of them on most keyboards) for all of those keys.
 
Or, at least, my keyboard has/does all of those things.

What about the "I" on the "Insert" key?

My Print Screen also has an 'I' but it looks like I missed the one in 'Ins' as well. That's the problem with trying to take the riddle passed the way kandis21 worded it:

it's very dependent on the keyboard. I'm sure I can find a keyboard somewhere that has a couple more 'I's.

Yeah, for example, mine also has an i in "Logitech"; and for some reason there's "find" on the front-side of the f-key; and "italics" on the i-key, and "print" on the p-key. I never even noticed all these i's staring me in the face.
The i of my right shift has been worn off though.

the keys on the front tell you the "ctrl+" commands they are for.
And apparently, there are three keys that CAN lock and unlock...
