You can get them fairly cheap from pckeyboard.com, and if you do a search for ibm model M on ebay, you can get some for around $35 or so.

Here's a nice one on sale at ClickyKeyboards. It's not the most sought after model M, but it certainly is buckling springs.

EDIT: Just noticed why it's on sale, the Scroll Lock indicator light doesn't work. Wouldn't be a deal breaker for me, but to each their own.

How much are you looking to spend?  eBay is very hit-and-miss.  I've bought some real basket-case Model M's from there.  If you want buckling springs and don't want the risk of getting one that needs work, pay a little extra and buy from ClickyKeyboards or Unicomp.

seems hard to beat the wildcats deal at unicomp. brand new BS for not much more than a questionable ebay M

I have to agree with him, because finding new Model M will cost you more than new Wildcat Unicomp, cheapest I saw sold was $50 shipped and they were gone 4 of them in a split of a second..... Speaking of which I got today my new XT Model F and costed me around $90 delivered.

not sure what to do about shipping to malaysia though. cyclonechuah is a local malay dealer right? maybe he can import a batch of boards so you can get the shipping discount of scale?
