I wish I had a good idea. I'm typing this on
an Apple Extended II ADB
keyboard plugged into a USB-to-ADB converter so I can use it on my Mac Pro.
On the PC I tend to use a no-name keyboard I got 20 years ago, but really
like the SGI PS/2 keyboard that came with my O2. I really wish someone
would make a good replica of the Apple keyboard, but as a USB keyboard. In
part because I love the shelf behind the function keys. This is also why I
like the IBM Model M keyboards.
I seem to remember someone is making a keyboard like you're looking for,
but it isn't cheap.

keyboard of the same
action/type as an IBM Model M or the really great Cherry keyboards of 'the
day' to use on modern machines to code with and work at a terminal. My
Logitech G110 is fine for general work (it's a decent keyboard in it's own
right) but the 12 macro keys on the end confuse the b-jebus out of me and
also the key-spacing is designed for gamers no typists.
I don't want to fudge an older PS/2 keyboard via a USB adapter as it
generally doesn't work 100% right and I occasionally get keys dropped or
doouble-typed. I also need the 'Windows' keys that a lot of older decent
keyboards lack.
I'm willing to drop decent money to get one, so anyone got any ideas?
