Fingers crossed. 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. :)
