Thanks!
Hmm - I wonder if I can disconnect the +5V line at the keyboard and supply
+5V elsewhere (maybe just tap from the machine's +5V direct), just to try
that for a while and see if the problem goes away (it had occurred to me
that it might be an over-current issue).
I'm not sure if the adapter relies on seeing a current draw (implying a
connected keyboard) for it to function correctly, though...
cheers

That's exactly* the one I have; does your
setup ever cough out
repeated keystrokes?
Not that I've noticed. Sounds like my keyboard's later than yours,
though (1988). * product
string of "USBPS2", Vendor 0d3d, revision 0.01
Yep, sounds like mine:
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0d3d:0001 Tangtop Technology Co., Ltd HID Keyboard
It requests MaxPower 100mA, which is a bit less than clickykeyboards
claims a Model M actually uses -- but I know the machine I'm using it on
doesn't enforce the USB power requirements anyway, so it should be safe
up to half an amp...
