newly-manufactured Model Ms and well as other good keyboards.
I'm typing on one of their keyboards right now, a UK-layout
Customiser. It's not quite accurate to call them Model Ms: they have the
same keyswitch mechanism, but no removable keycaps, and the keyboard as
a whole is quite a bit lighter (and louder!) than a vintage Model M. On
the upside, they have native USB.
I use a real Model M at home, with a USB adaptor that looks the same as
the one clickykeyboards sell:

My adaptor came from a local supplier, so it's worth shopping
around. I've also got several other (active) PS/2-to-USB adaptors that
work with most old keyboards but not with Model Ms, presumably owing to
power requirements.
I've not found any adaptor that works with the ancient AT-interface
barcode reader I use for cataloguing books...
