How does the Alpha Geek establish dominance over the other techies in the herd? With a self-consciously old fashioned, expensive, and fussy computer accessory, of course! We take a look at the Das keyboard and see if it's that much better than the mushy crap keyboard that came bundled with your Dell.

and it is the best thing I ever bought (well, 6 of them). One thing that is really important for me is accurate keys as I type for living. And Das?... does its best job exactly there.
Keyboard is not suited for users, this is real geek hardware. You have to be serious about typing or you'll just waste 100EUR for nothing but geek appeal.
No special keys is a bonus to me and usb ports I don't need as I use logitech wireless laser mouse.
Having blank keys, click is really needed and I have no coworkers to be annoyed.
Basically, 600EUR I spent to equip my self for typing on my computers was best buy ever.
So... if you don't code for living... look away. Das keyboard is just fetish for you.
The worst keyboard I ever tried? Mac Pro aluminum. Somehow reminds me on zx spectrum. No mass, bad angle, no feeling in pressing and to wide spaces between keys. Keyboard is probably very good for casual typing. But if your life depends on it... it's just not accurate enough to be worth of mentioning between keyboards for 1EUR.
