I've got a "Microsoft Wireless Comfort keyboard 5000", but I really do think the Model M is superior (evident by the many reasons listed above), I love the sound of the keyboard :3, and   I just love it's retro look Wink But I'll think I wait until I find the keyboard for less than $120... Smiley

Before this thread I didn't even know that anything but buckling spring mechanical keyboards existed. I figured Das Keyboard was buckling spring too. It turns out there's a whole world of modern mechanical keyboards. I still absolutely love my Customizer and I wouldn't want anything else for my desktop (I like my keyboard to feel like something I could smash a zombie's head in with), but I think it would be cool to get one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/Noppoo-Mini-w-Brown-MX-Switch-Mechanical-Keyboard-/330761514028?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item4d02ec2c2c to suplement a laptop keyboard.

Well, the thing is, I live in Australia, and the postage ends up being ~$60 from the USA. The seller I found was based in Sydney, Australia.

Here: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/IBM-Model-M-101-clicky-ps2-keyboard-/261066857455?pt=AU_Computers_Vintage&hash=item3cc8cc1bef#ht_500wt_1413

A few auctions have shown up recently so I might keep an eye on them: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/IBM-keyboard-Model-M-/320945409221?pt=AU_Computers_Vintage&hash=item4ab9d64cc5#ht_500wt_1413

I just woke up from a terribly nightmare where my Customizer turned into a dome-switch keyboard and it was all mushy.
