Das Keyboard Review - Model S w/ Cherry MX Blue Switches

FaldorixAlpha Says:

Feb 19, 2012 - Well, the Razer Blackwidow for one uses the same switches, and I think costs $80 for the cheaper version, but I've heard cases of keys not working after a while. Rosewill also produces mechanical keyboards that are around $100, haven't heard anything bad about them really.

Feb 27, 2012 - if they had a different freq of sound for each different key that would make it so much better i think but im not even sure if that's feasible

Mar 15, 2012 - Give me a brown switch model with backlighting, and I'm in heaven. I already inquired Das Keyboard about making one, but they wouldn't comment for "competitive" purposes. We will see.

Mar 15, 2012 - There are some now from other brands, When I got this keyboard there was only a very few keyboard w/ backlighting but now there are several.Zibal 60, Ducky Shine, Razer BW Ultimate Stealth, QPAD MK80, just a few of them.I have a KBC Race on the way w/ Reds that has backlighting.

Mar 17, 2012 - Get yourself a Ducky Shine DK9008S with Browns and you'll be in heaven then. It's a great board, i'm waiting for mine in the mail actually.

Mar 21, 2012 - Yup. Pressing W, A, and Space is exactly why I am watching this review lol. I am seriously considering buying the silent model DasKeyboard for my gaming.

Apr 15, 2012 - Has the QPAD Mk 80 brown switches? I thought it has reds. And how are reds? i read that they are bad for typing, whats your experience? (sry for my bad english :P)

ViciousXUSMC Says:

Apr 15, 2012 - QPAD pretty sure can be configured with any switch (atleast the special edition) and I like the reds a lot for typing. Look at my KBC Poker review it has MX Reds.

Apr 16, 2012 - Does it work using the PS/2 connector only, or is the second USB hub needed?

Apr 30, 2012 - Check out the Max Keyboard NightHawk X8, it is a Cherry MX Brown switch keyboard with Blue LED back-lighting (and for extra charge you can have Max change the LED back-light color).

HunterXray Says:

May 18, 2012 - That's because in this case the "A" is pronounced with an "ah" sound and not an "aye" as in bake, rake or snake.

Tandemonion Says:

May 23, 2012 - Ok, now what keyboard shall I get?I love gaming, and I also love typing:This Keyboard, or the Razer Blackwidow Ultimate?They both have Cherry MX Blues...

ViciousXUSMC Says:

May 23, 2012 - This keyboard is built much better than the Razer BW Ultimate (I had one)

May 25, 2012 - damn you have a really full taskbar haha

davewilliamsme Says:

May 26, 2012 - Hmmm... you said a membrane keyboard keys lasts for 5m strokes, where as a mechanical is 15m. Then you said it lasts 10x longer... wouldn't that be 3x longer?Good review though. :)
