Das Keyboard is great
« on: October 13, 2018, 05:48:14 pm »
I wasted most of my professional life on cheap, stupid keyboards. Then I upgraded to Das keyboard. What an experience. My typing has improved tremendously. I get the Cherry MX Brown keys, they are not the loudest. But still have lots of feedback and clickiness.

I just love them. So much I have 3.

Apparently the older ones were made in the good olde Germania. The latest-greatest is from the land or Mordor, or Elbonia. sigh. I think I have one genuine one and two imitations but in the last year, haven't noticed any tangible difference.

For extra points, get a MSI laptop, some of their models like Titan come with the clicky keyboard. Very nice. It's a transcendental experience.

"Unicomp" independent vendor's knockoff of IBM PC clicky keyboards of the 80s

I hear you. A solid keyboard is indispensable.

It's still a good keyboard, 6 years later. No key legends have rubbed off from wear. Recently I started prying the key tops off of the key switches and using cotton swabs dipped in alcohol to clean the food and other disgusting grunge from behind the keys. In humid weather some keys were sticking badly - cleaning helps. Quality costs - the same keyboard seems to run around $100 including shipping today. But it LASTS.

I spilled some coffee onto the keyboard and turns out Das keyboards are real easy to wash. Just dry it out for several days to be safe.
