Unicomp (http://www.pckeyboard.com/) produce modern IBM Model M keyboard, with real buckling spring tech. Mine's been working beautifully for 8 years now. It is loud though, you won't make friends from the noise levels. I did have some issues with the quality of the caps, some of the function keys get stuck due to the tight fit between the cap and the bezel, but you can probably file down the bezel or the cap. My model doesn't have media keys, which sucks.

Anyway, if you want to feel like you're writing on a mechanical device, it's fantastic, and when you're in the zone you get that audial and tactile feedback to say "Yes! You're winning!".

I need to find a keyboard I can use at work, one with tactile feedback but a lot quieter.
