Ordered a "Das Keyboard Model S Professional" today. I still own an
original IBM Model M keyboard (part number 1391403) but I can't use it
on my main machine:
-- It doesn't have a "Super" key. I definitely need that key.
-- My current machine does not have a PS/2 port nor does it have an
AT port. USB adapters for those two connectors suck.
Although being built in 1985, the Model M still works flawlessly. Many
children "used" my keyboard, so I'm really honestly surprised that it
still works.
I ordered the version with Cherry MX Blue keys[1]. I'm curious how it
feels compared to the Model M. Nice bonus: The keyboard has a USB hub.
I'm a bit saddened, though, that I won't be able to use the Das
Keyboard at work. My colleagues would kill me. :-)
