I wish I had a good idea. I'm typing this on an Apple Extended II
ADB keyboard plugged into a USB-to-ADB converter so I can use it on
my Mac Pro. On the PC I tend to use a no-name keyboard I got 20
years ago, but really like the SGI PS/2 keyboard that came with my
O2. I really wish someone would make a good replica of the Apple
keyboard, but as a USB keyboard. In part because I love the shelf
behind the function keys. This is also why I like the IBM Model M
keyboards.
I seem to remember someone is making a keyboard like you're looking
for, but it isn't cheap.

action/type as an IBM Model M or the really great Cherry keyboards
of 'the day' to use on modern machines to code with and work at a
terminal. My Logitech G110 is fine for general work (it's a decent
keyboard in it's own right) but the 12 macro keys on the end confuse
the b-jebus out of me and also the key-spacing is designed for
gamers no typists.
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. I also need the 'Windows' keys that a lot
of older decent keyboards lack.
I'm willing to drop decent money to get one, so anyone got any ideas?
