Sounds like a job for the Unicomp Customizer...

I don't want to fudge an older PS/2 keyboard via a
USB adapter as it
generally doesn't work 100% right and I occasionally get keys dropped
or doouble-typed.
The Customizer is available in USB and PS2 variants :)
I also need the 'Windows' keys that a lot of
older
decent keyboards lack.
... And yes, you can have one with Windows keys too :)
I'm willing to drop decent money to get one, so
anyone got any
ideas?
I've got a Customizer 105 UK-layout PS/2 with buckling spring keys (like
the Model M). I love it -- I really couldn't see myself going back to
using a membrane keyboard.
It's naff all good for playing games, but I have a cheapo USB keyboard
if I ever feel like doing that (or, incidentally, a Mac Mini with a copy
of Steam installed... Portal2 is really the only game I play these days).
Thanks,
