Review: Absolutely amazing. - So I have never written a product review before. I have never felt the urge to sing the praises of a product like I do with the Das Keyboard. First, let me begin with stating that my profession requires a ton of data entry and when I am not at work I am typing up multitudes of papers for school. I do quite a bit of typing on a day to day basis and usually spend upwards of 8-12 hours a day in front of a computer, between work and school. For the past 10 years or so I have used terribly designed membrane keyboards that usually come stock with new computers. Due to my extreme amount of typing I have also developed a consistent pain in my fingers after typing for more than a few hours at a time. Due to this I decided to go ahead and bite the bullet and purchase a quality keyboard. After a few weeks of researching which switches would suit me best I finally decided on Cherry Mx blue switches as noise was not an issue and extreme comfort and tactile response were of utmost importance to me. I am the kind of person that will go ahead and spend the money up front on a quality product rather than going low-mid range and having to replace the product many times over. At first I thought the $120+ price tag on this product was ridiculous but after reading many reviews I decided to go for it. The keyboard arrived at my doorstep a few days ago and I have used it for 8-10 hours a day since then. I can report that it is by far the best keyboard I have ever owned and it has spoiled me for life. I love this keyboard so much that I will soon purchase another to use at work as well as home. The tactile response of the keys is superb and the build quality is second to none. It is very hefty and extremely sturdy. I do a fair amount of gaming as well, anything from your typical FPS games to MMORPGs. This keyboard does not disappoint when it comes to gaming, although I have a feeling the Cherry Mx Black switches would probably be a bit better, the Blues are more than adequate. Also, this keyboard is very professional looking and definitely looks like something that belongs on a grown adult's desk. The lack of gaudy lighting and neon green logos is refreshing. If you do a fair amount of typing in your day-to-day life please do yourself a favor and order one of these keyboards ASAP. The price tag may seem a little steep but once you type on one of these you will be spoiled for life and will never go back to cheap stock keyboards.
Review: Solid build quality, satisfyingly clicky, and of course, truly a joy to type on - I've been using this keyboard for roughly a month so far, and I love it. I'm actually finishing up a coding assignment consisting on over 1000 lines of Java, so I think I'm ready to give a fair review. Up until now, I've used laptop keyboards (MacBook Air, ASUS laptop, etc) and your standard $15 Office Depot fare. You know, the cheapest Logitech keyboard on the shelf. And all of those have been perfectly fine for my needs. Until now. I was talked into getting a mech keyboard from a friend who loves his. I took the plunge on this and boy was it worth it. The difference is akin to the going from cheap Walmart boots to top of the line work boots, or from a disposable razor to an expensive one with 5 blades, or a lawn chair to an expensive ergonomic office chair. Yes, the cheaper version will do the job, and you may even get used to it over time. But once you experience the higher quality offering, you'll appreciate the difference and be glad you spent more money in the long run. If you type a lot, you will really appreciate the "feel" that the keys have, and the satisfying clicky sound that each key has when you press it. You'll also appreciate the solid breaking point between "unpressed" and "pressed" that mechanical keys have. Overall, it is a much more ergonomic and enjoyable typing experience than with a non-mechanical keyboard. It is hard to explain unless you try it. If you spend a lot of time typing (like me), I highly recommend a mechanical keyboard. Given my experience with this keyboard so far, the solid construction, the sleek good looks, and the legendary reputation that Das Keyboard has as a company, I recommend this one. Remember to also pick up a wrist pad if you don't already have one - the keyboard sits up relatively high, and it's horrible for your wrists to type without one. You want your wrists to be completely level if possible when typing. When I bought this keyboard, it was around $125. Is it worth taking the plunge when you can "get the job done" for as little as $10? If you only use the computer occasionally, then no, it is probably not worth the extra $100+. If you use a keyboard daily for your job, hobby, or leisure activities, for several hours a day, then it is definitely worth it. Do you wrists and fingers a favor and get the best. EDIT: I've decided to revise this review, due to recent developments in the Mechanical Keyboard market. At the current price of ~$140, the Das Keyboard Model S is just overpriced. It's still a great keyboard, but in terms of value, is quite lacking. I would instead recommend a CM Storm keyboard, which use the same switches, but have an equally great build quality.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the keys engraved or printed? Any problems with letters wearing off?**
A: From the product description: "Double Shot Keycaps"

Doubleshot = The key and legend (the letter/symbol) are separate pieces of plastic. 

Bottom line:  One would have to destroy the key before the letters will show any wear.

**Q: Will the keyboard for Mac work with windows 7? Are any windows function like insert omitted?**
A: I saw this question which is one I had as well. I couldn't find a satisfactory answer elsewhere so I did some tests on a recently purchased Mac version of the keyboard. I connected the Mac version to a Win7 laptop. 1. Where the typical insert key resides (mid-right, next to "Home" and above "Delete"), the key is labeled disk eject. Even though the button is in the same spot as a Windows insert key, it does NOT perform the insert function in Windows. However, the long "0" button on the numeric keypad performs insert as it would on a PC keyboard. Num-lock just has to be disabled. 2. There is no num-lock light. The "clear" key performs num lock, but you don't get an LED to let you know it is enabled. There is only a blue caps lock indicator light. 3. There is no scroll-lock function and no Pause/Break. Where the scroll-lock and Pause/Break keys are located, these are brightness adjust keys for the Mac. Neither key performs its PC keyboard equivalent. So this also means you cannot hit "Ctrl-Pause/Break" to interrupt a process like you can on a standard PC keyboard. 4. If you use the "Print Screen" key in Windows to take screenshots (I do Alt-PrtScr a lot), hopefully there is a way to remap it because the Print Screen key has been replaced by an F13 key and it doesn't do the Print Screen screen grab function in Windows.These answers assume you are just plugging a Mac Das Keyboard straight into a Windows 7 PC with no tweaks. I haven't researched if there's a way to remap keys in Windows to regain the omitted functionality.

**Q: How difficult to disassemble and clean?**
A: This is not very difficult to clean. I would recommend a good keycap puller (preferably the wire kind) to avoid damaging your keycaps, but it's not very difficult. A few weeks ago I took the keycaps off of mine, let them soak in medium-hot water with some dish detergent, cleaned out the inside of the board. I then dried off the keys by zipping them up in a pillowcase and putting them in the drier on a no-heat setting. Once both the board and keycaps were dry, I put the keycaps back on. My Das Keyboard looks as good as new, and cleaning it was very easy! I hope that answers your question.

**Q: Will this keyboard work on windows 7 computers?**
A: I own 2 Das Keyboards (Professional and Ultimate) for work and home and have used them both across Windows 7, Windows 8, Mac, and Ubuntu and have never had any problems.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have had this keyboard for two years now.
*by J***S on January 21, 2015*

I have had this keyboard for exactly one year, and it has never let me down in any situation. The lettering on the keys have note even started to fade (I use this keyboard everyday). Once you put a couple thousand clicks on the keyboard, really starts to break in. Keeping that in mind I do game quite a bit so the WASD buttons are quite worn in, but it never has response issues, I went on there website and bought the WASD keys, and I think it was a great accessory, it was a little pricey, but I don't regret it. I got the blue keys, and personally I got used to the clicky sound very fast, and now it starts to help me concentrate on what I am typing on. As far as the glossy finish goes, I love it, after a couple weeks it always gets finger prints, and dust, but I always keep the cloth that is included with the keyboard under it so that I can always quickly pull it out and clean it, so that was never a concern for me. UPDATE: Well I have had it for another year and its still going well. All the letters on the caps have stayed on fairly well, and have yet to show any wear. I'm getting a little tired of having to clean the gloss finish on it though, the first couple of months it did not bother me but after you have cleaned it once a week for two years you start to see why a matte finish would have been nice. The MX cherry blues are still doing very good, and I do use this everyday being a student that is always writing essays, reports, and coding here and there. Not to mention I use this for gaming a ton on the weekends, and it is a real treat to use even after the amount of time that I have had it. I love the feel and sound of the MX blues, but sometimes at night people tend to get disturbed by the volume of the click, and it forces me to type with two fingers in order to keep the clicking down to a minimum. I have been looking at some other keyboards from das, but it seems like they are getting more expensive each year. I'm just not going to pay 180$ for a keyboard that has the same keys as a 75$ one. Yes, you could go on about how the German engineering is the reason why you are paying this price, and to some that matters, but I think for me 140$ is about all I'm willing to spend on a keyboard, so as of now I won't be picking up the new one. But if this shows one thing from Das, its that you get what you're paying for, especially after seeing the new one which looks like it has a aluminum frame. I would like to see a back lit coming from das, just simple white LED's should do the job, but when you code at night like some of us do I am always having to squint my eyes in search for the right symbol so a back lit keyboard would apply very nicely to that aspect. Overall Das is a very good company and they know how to do keyboards, but I just can't justify the cost. You can get a logitech g710+ with the same keys, and a back lit for half the price of the new one. Yes, you won't get the build quality that the Das has in the Logitech, but for half the price it just makes more sense to buy another logitech keyboard after the other dies.
