I've got a converter which I use to connect my Model M - oddly enough I've
seen the same sort of behavior that Mark hints at, in that very
occasionally the system will seem to think that a key has been held down,
and will cough out repeat keypresses.
I've never been able to tell if it's the converter, the keyboard, the
PC-side USB hardware, or something within Linux's USB layer. If it is the
converter, maybe it's specific only to a certain model (or models).
The M is such a delight to type on that it's only a minor inconvenience to
me, though!
