A good substitute in feel and durability is Keytronics. I scored a PS2 model on 
eBay and plugged it into my PS2 to USB adapter. Looks sorta funky with the 
purple and green PS2 female ends hanging out there for all to see. But it works 
a treat.

AFAIK the Model M keyboard is still produced in Lexington, KY - more-
or-less just down the street from the (former?) IBM R&D facility.
