If you can find an IBM model M keyboard somewhere, you'll never look

The original IBM keyboard team got spun off with Lexmark, and then spun
off as independent company (IIRC owned by the original team from IBM).
They still sell the old keyboards, as well as newer models with USB, the
newer "logo" and menu keys, etc. They're still buckling spring and feel
basically the same (a well-used Model M feels a little different than a
brand new keyboard, but I think that's just springs breaking in).

I have an original (made in 1985 or 1986 IIRC) Model M with the old
school coiled-up detachable cable that I used for years, and a couple of
the Unicomp USB versions that I use now, and they're great.
In my previous post, I forgot to add the following:
The old IBM model M has no Windows keys. Since only the left Win key seems
to be used, you can simulate that by pressing CTRL+ESC simultaneously.
