Illuminated Keyboard with IBM Model M Feel?

Hello, I am searching for a new keyboard that is illuminated AND has the feel of the old IBM Model M keyboards.  You know the ones; with a solid "clack" sound when the key is depressed.

The only one I've found so far is the Deck Legend.  http://www.deckkeyboards.com/legend.php

Actually, I did find one from Logitech (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/4740&cl=US,EN) that says it "Gives you more key travel than typical notebook keyboards." but I don't think it's got the feel I'm looking for.

Anyone know of any others, aside from the Deck?

THANKS!

Hi, I appreciate your reply, however I don't think that will be what I'm looking for.  In the description is says it has a "soft touch" and I guess I'm looking for the opposite.  I'd like something with a mechanical switch so there is a definite "click" when the key is successfully depressed.  There are some out there (aside from the old IBM's I mentioned in the original post), but I'm hoping to find one with the solid key touch that is illuminated.

Thanks anyway!
