Who has a modern mechanical USB keyboard the feels like an AEK? Not interested in doing the ADB to USB thing.

The ADK would be more palatible if they'd used the Mitsumi switches from the M0487 keyboards. Some are tolerable as I mentioned earlier, others are as bad as a M7803. The DataDesk keyboards, while decent for typing were ugly as sin. An IBM model M looks nicer. My chemistry instructor in college had two IIsi machines set up with the DataDesk boards. Whenever I used one of them, I swapped the A9M0330 that was on the IIgs in the chem lab to it. Felt much better.
Agreed. It's absurd next to a compact Mac… but I likes it. But also, I line up two or three of them and use a WootSwitch so it looks a little less out of place.
I enjoy the AEKs for the T arrows, mostly. I prefer the mechanism on the M0115 but both are nice as long as they are not rubber domes. If I'm pressed for space, my go to in the orange alps A9M0330. Absolutely nothing wrong with the M0116 though. Solid.
I haven't a lot of experience with modern mechanicals. I only have a Keychron QMax Q1 Gatreon Red switches. Love the sound and feel of it. Haven't tried using the Wombat to see how I like it.
