I would like to buy a Model M (IBM) keyboard if only to see what all of the fuss is about. I am just not sure how I'd connect it to my PC since I believe the Model M uses an RJ45 connector? Or maybe a Ps2 connector? I only have a USB connector on my motherboard. If you've ever used a Model M keyboard, would you say they are pretty good?

I have one I use quite often depending where I am. It uses a PS2 connector. Most boards still have the PS2 mouse and KB headers on the IO section. You'll have to check your set up. I like it because of the feel of the keys when I type. Tactile feedback is important. Probably not the best for gaming tho.

Nice! I'm actually not a HUGE pc gamer. I do have a Ps2 connector on my motherboard. What year is that one?

Thanks
