gmcI forgot what a joy it is to type on one of these. Now I want a similar experience on my modern desktop. I'm not at all a keyboard nerd (I have enough nerdy obsessions already) so uhm, any recommendations?

not tried them myself but there is a company (Unicomp) that still makes keyboards using the keyswitch technology from the Model M (I think they also offer a restoration service for old Model M keyboards).

@happy I found unicomp to my cursory web searching indeed, looks interesting, need to see if they have non-windows command key caps though, also I'd prefer to by non-US.
Model F already looks better, and I don't care too much about latency I think (I'm not a gamer, but I do type fast though).
I've also found 'ducky', Taiwanese apparently. No clue about quality / feel there.

daj@gmc @g_boccia @happy I don't think anyone except Unicomp offer the buckling spring keys. They use the same literal machines IBM built back then. So consistency is reportedly becoming an issue. That said my Unicomp came out fine. Ducky etc use the modern mechanical switches which are also nice but very different feel.
