[0.9] This is my second Das Keyboard 4 Professional--the first went to my wife's computer when I rebuilt and upgraded it. This latest model is equipped with the new footbar that has rubber feet, a great improvement in eliminating the tendency for the keyboard to slide around. I contacted Das Keyboard about purchasing the new footbar for our first keyboard. They responded by agreeing to ship one free of charge.

The only downside to these keyboards is the ABS keys will wear shiny and the letters dim after awhile. The solution� is purchasing a set of Doubleshot PBT key caps from WASD Keyboards.com. PBT keycaps don't wear and the letters fade as with ABS keycaps and will permanently restore the keyboard to its original glory.

[2] My previous keyboard was a Realforce Topre keyboard (8 years). Moving to the Das with Cherry MX Brown switches has been a pleasant change.

[2] The keyboard is actually pretty heavy, underscoring its sturdy construction.  The keyboard is exactly what I was looking for - the same feel as that IBM keyboard I had 15 years ago, just keys and no mushy feel.  My typing is faster and more reliable.  I have only had the keyboard a month, but the construction seems to be very solid, and key spacing is perfect for quick touch typing.  Highly recommended!

[0.9] No bling, no extra USB hookups, no media keys, just a good basic mechanical keyboard!

[0.9] If you like a keyboard with a full keystroke and good tactile and audible feedback, this is an excellent choice.� The feel of the keyboard is very similar to the old IBM PC keyboards.� The only thing I miss are the home row indicators on the "F" and "J" keys... the little dot or bar protrusions that let your fingers know they are in the correct position (this keyboard doesn't have them, but it wasn't enough of a shortcoming to lower the overall rating).

[0.9] I strongly prefer mechanical keyboards. My Cherry MX Blue Stem arrived today and it's perfect. Replaces a sixteen year old Mircon mechanical keyboard that was beginning to wear out. Unless one is a gammer I see no reason to spend more for the more expensive keyboards

[0.9] This was just what I was looking for. The Keys have a great feel and feedback when typing on. There is also a clicking sound that is very good. Love this keyboard.

[0.9] The Cherry MX Brown switches are not noisy and have the right amount of tactile feeling. The build quality of this keyboard is solid and heavy. Mechanical keyboards have the keys higher than normal keyboards and some of the brands include a palm rest in the box. Das Keyboards do not come with it. I purchased a polyurethane palm rest to get the right height.


I'd be happy if they included something in the box for raising your palm, other than that it is a great keyboard!

[0.9] I wanted to order a keyboard with two different debits cards and the person that that helped me was very kind and patient and I was able to order the keyboard, they were old debit cards, and I was not sure they would still work and they did, I have purchased items in the past and they are so nice to work with .

[0.9] This is a beast: solid, beautifully made keyboard with excellent audio controls all grouped together on the right with a wonderful, large volume dial. Typing is FAST with great tactile feedback. I gave up on thin, wired keyboards for the Mac from three other vendors--they don't hold up. The only thing missing is the hot key for widgets--solved by using hot corners in OS. If you need something robust, reliable with great key feedback--this is it. It sounds cool, too--love that mechanical key strike. Not one thing flimsy in this board.
