I have a couple of Model M boards, and a Unix layout Unicomp clone (with
Ctrl and caps lock in the right positions).

My favorite by far though is the 5150 and XT 83-key. Much heavier, and the
sound and feel are more to my liking, as well as the left side function
keys. I really want to get an XT to PS/2 adapter and one of those boards
(model F, if memory serves), but prices are so high that other expenses
always seem to take precedence.

I was never bothered in the slightest by the small enter key or the need to
use num lock regularly.
