He suggested that I put the keyboard on my lap and bend the right side. Now, for all its negatives, the keyboard is built as if it were made of cast iron. Bending it would have meant putting it in a vice. Its real function is to raise the back of the keyboard about 5 degrees, just where it feels right. Closer inspection showed that the ruler was warped.
A new one was sent out, but that ruler was warped, too, so I had to get used to a moveable typing experience. That aside, what other keyboard than the Das allows you to customize the way the keys look?
One user designed vintage Smith-Corona key caps. The Keyboard 4 Professional model, which I bought, has an oversized volume key and separate keys to put the computer to sleep and mute the sound. Compact keyboards also are available, as is one for Macs. Those noisy keys, by the way, are gold-plated, and there are two USB hubs at the rear of the keyboard. For folks working in close quarters with others, the company does make quiet keyboards, too.
After all of my complaints about quality and its pseudo-German name, I will allow that it does enable you to type as if it were Users rave about it to the point that it has almost a cult following. The company also will have a new line of Internet keyboards that are backlit yay! Stay tuned. Typing as if it's By Harold Glicken DasKeyboard is one of the most expensive non-gaming computer keyboards on the planet.
Click and clack. AIR VS. BucklingSpring Posts: Hi guys, Candid question - Does changing vendor must mean changing product? I too was recommending DAS I'll wait to see couples of credible reviews before doing so again. Quote from: BucklingSpring on Sat, 08 September , IvanIvanovich Mr.
They should have went back with Cherry. Das II was nicer looking. So I guess that is 4 oem for them now, Keytronic, Cherry, Costar,?.

If anyone tried diagnosing me their head would asplode. So from this does that mean their build quality is no longer as good? Because I just noticed my F1 key switch on my Das is becoming sticky for some reason.. I would hate to get a replacement that was a p. Yeah well it's not confirmed that the new vendor is iOne yet, but if it is.
It will means Das will become more hit or miss. Like it either works or break down in 2 weeks. So if you're F1 is having issue I'd go get it exchanged for a non-media edition. Because only the media edition is made by a different company. Anything that says Model S Professional is made by Costar. Quote from: Daniel Beardsmore on Sun, 09 September , Just noticed that the Das Professional Standard and Professional are sold out on newegg.
On the Das website, they only have the new ones listed on their main page. Looks like they are phasing it out. Judging by the layout, I think it must be an Ione board as well. Yeah the non-media edition models start to go on sale now. If you want to get any quality Das Keyboard now is the last chance lol. After the Costar ones sold out then Das is no more. I was thinking about returning my Das as I'm within the 30 day window and just paying the extra to get another Filco but I might keep it now.
I actually kind of like the glossy finish.

Quote from: perragnar on Thu, 20 September , Quote from: Hyde on Thu, 20 September , Quote from: tp4tissue on Thu, 20 September , Either way, the Das I guess version 2 is the one before the media keys , is still a nice keyboard, IMHO, and at least it's different than the other ones out there.
Not to mention my only options for a full deck Costar-made keyboard right now with blue cherry mx are limited to Filco not available on Amazon right now , Rosewill no thanks, I don't want to take the gamble on a faulty USB connection , and WASD nice board, but still more expensive than what I paid for the Das.
Yeah it's pretty much why I bought my Das, it's the cheapest full size Costar board out there. Also one of the better looking ones too in my opinion. Ok thanks for the clarification on the versions.
I like tenkeyless as well but my full decks take precedence because I too have become used to the number pad after years of data entry. If the new Das with media keys has a smaller space bar and 1x keys on the bottom row around the space bar, it's probably an Ione board. So right now the only Das made by Costar are the Ultimate and Mac editions? Or have they been changed to iOne also Quote from: exousia7 on Wed, 31 October , Das and geekhackers don't mix together well anyway.
