Some other IBM keyboards had them and Unicomp still sells some, but otherwise no, nothing else.

I am tempted to get one of these too but most I've seen on the internet are around $120

Do model M's feel similar to blues? I've never typed on one but I'd like to. I hope Slick does a video unboxing of his model m :-)
