The Model M keyboard is the "I use arch btw" of keyboards.

Model M: “the old is good”.

Arch Linux: “… um, no. The new is good. Why do you think I left Ubuntu in the first place?” (Having more control is one aspect of it, but rolling releases and not having to add a PPA to get a newer-than-five-years-ago version of a package is rather compelling too.)

My arch linux using co-worker is currently awaiting delivery of one of these:

Omg it can come in Cherry silvers! It looks so comfy, I wonder how good it feels
I've been using one for about six months now. The ortholinear layout and the custom key mapping reduced my WPM to near zero for about a week, and it took about a month to get back to full speed, but now you'd have to pry it from my cold dead hands. I love it so much I take it to the office and back home with me every day. I guess I should buy another one.
Haha this is true. I use a Model M keyboard, btw.
