Came across that one today... I looked to see if it's already been posted, but I don't see it on here.  I'm no Model M guy, so I don't know if the M9 is good or bad.

It's a POS, literally.

I highly doubt it, we have this same keyboard on our POS machine at work. It really in completely different to the "good" IBM keyboards of yore.

Well, as I said in the OP, I'm no BS guy and I didn't do ANY research on it, knowing the ones who care will know whether or not it's worth a look.  Sorry to have wasted your time, guys.
