Unicomp owns the patent from the original IBM/Lexmark Model M
keyboards, they still make & sell modern versions (with USB and
Windows keys, if you want, also versions with PS/2 or without windows
keys are available). And you can buy it with German configuration. You
can even buy it with quiet keys, but what is the point of that?? ;)
They are made in the USA but can be shipped worldwide.
This is the model I have (in black with grey keys):
http://pckeyboards.stores.yahoo.net/customizer.html
It is the same size and weight like the old keyboards, very heavy,
each key cap can be removed, it is loud & clicks nicely and is very
awesome. For USD$69 I think it is a bargain, I type on the computer
every day and this keyboard is simply perfect to me. After using cheap
$5 and $10 keyboards for so many years, now I will never go back to
those.
Their website is http://www.pckeyboard.com and they have other
keyboard variations such as a Linux keyboard.
I highly recommend it for anyone who likes a huge and loud keyboard
that feels incredible. :)
