Das Keyboard – The Best Keyboard on the Planet?
by Sze | Filed under Peripherals and Accessories
Here is the new Das Keyboard that may be the best keyboard on the planet. Two versions are available, the Das Keyboard Professional and the Das Keyboard Ultimate that comes with 100% blank keys.
The Das Keyboard Professional features German-engineered gold-plated mechanical key switches that offers tactile and audio feedback. It has an n-key rollover function allowing up to 12 keys to be pressed simultaneously. The slick mechanical keyboard has blue LEDs and USB hub and comes with an extra long USB cable.
The Das Keyboard Professional is basically identical to the Das Keyboard Professional but “features” 100% blank keys. Both models are priced at $129.00. If you are not comfortable with the noise produced, get also the resuable earplugs for $9.95. There is also Mac/Linux keycap set that costs $14.95.
I don’t know if the Das Keyboard is the world’s best keyboard. What I know is, if you don’t like the noise produced by keyboard, think twice before you buy it.

Thanks for the great post Sze! I’m Andy, the Das Keyboard Community Manager responsible for making sure our customers have a voice with us and making sure the Das Keyboard experience is always great. I thought you or your readers may be interested in a promotion we’re doing in honor of the new earplugs. Starting today (Monday August 24, 2009), I’ll tweet a coupon at noon. Then tomorrow (Tuesday August 25, 2009) from noon until 3PM ET that code will work in our store to save $40 on a Das Keyboard Professional PLUS a pair of earplugs to give to your co-worker or spouse. The coupon is only good for that 3 hour window on Tuesday and it will only be posted on Twitter, but there’s no limit during that window. twitter.com/daskeyboard
Thanks again for your post and have a great day!
