I'm sure many of you are aware of the IBM Model M keyboards. I'm looking to buy one and I'm coming across the different model numbers of the M. Does anyone have incite on which variation is the best and why? A few of the numbers I came across are 1391406, 1391401, and 82G2383. Thanks

I use a Unicomp Customizer 101 keyboard for work. I prefer them to the old Model Ms because they have a modern layout and no wear. They are a little bit more expensive than the old ones but they will last much longer and do not require a PS/2 port.
