Hey! I like my clickety clack mechanical keyboard. When the last of my Keytronics (original supplier of KBDs to IBM) died I went out and found that the only mechanicals to ber had are "gaming" versions with backlit keys (good feature) and rotating colour effects (not so good feature).
I bought a Cherry MX2 which has a great feel and the driver lets me
pick a stable backlight colour. Plus I can return the PS2 to USB
adapter to the "possibles" box.
Model M keyboards are still being made by a company that bought IBM's entire keyboard manufacturing setup. Around $120.
Just looked at Unicomp's site. U$150 probably plus shipping. They are the original builders of IBM keyboards and located right in Lexington, KY
where IBM's confuser operations were/are head-quartered.

That links me to a Unicomp site. And makes me glad I don't have an Apple Macintrash. The Model M for Mac is U$179. Bv)=
I did all of the stuff when I burned throough my amateur radio phase.
It's been 28 years since I was first licensed and still in phase (pun intended).

I've made those. And eaten them in their home (Nawlins). Here's a very
good recipe for the olive salad which "make" the muffalettq what it is.
All you need then is a 10" loaf of Italian bread some provelone cheese, capicola, salami, and mortadella (Italian bologna). I substitute with
thuringer because of my problem with horse co .... bologna.
