The Model M is actually not great to type on compared to modern mechanical keyboards. Think it's mostly nostalgia for why people recommend them at this point.

I'd recommend buying a cherry mx keyboard switch tester so you can see what switches you like and then buying like a Ducky or Varmilo from mechanicalkeyboards.com. You might also want to consider how loud it is when you type on it if you are using it in a shared office space.
If you really want to go all-in look up building your own mechanical keyboard.

- bluGill 5y agoI have a Chinese brown clone keyboard because the noise of my model M disturbs my family. The model M is far better to type on in my opinion. Of course it is all about what you like. The problem I have with the keyboard tester idea is you really need to spend a few days trying a keyboard before you know if you like it. You can't know with just 6 different keys how they will work after a full day of typing. If it weren't for that I'd endorse the idea.
