Let's just analyse it in logic way.
DAS 4 pro:
- high quality
- standard layout (easier for aftermarket keycaps replacement)
- cool for you
- aluminium matte plate on the top instead of glossy finish like older models
- 2 USB 3.0 ports on the keyboard cons:
- expensive shipping to M'sia (Price Factor)
- ugly oversize volume knob (REDUNDANT things ever on keyboard), we want to get keyboard not volume controller.
- Full-size layout (non-ergonomics, DAS do not offer TKL/60% layout series for typists)
- only available in MX Blue & Brown
- awkward ruler for angle tipping instead of rubber feet (attached to the base by magnets)
Hit or Miss?

Conclusion, the oversize knob and price (including shipping) and FULL-SIZE layout really big turn offs.
Whereby, I can get a Filco TKL (Japanese brand) with top 1 quality in manufactured keyboard with reasonable price (~RM369).
Those high rated things <-- please don't believe, ppl also high rate Razer here thanks to those reviews.
In this forum, you will start listen to a lot of brands you don't even know they exist in the first place.
Like Realforce, PFU, Filco, Keycool, Plum, CM, etc.
Most of the laymen only knows Razer, SteelSeries, DAS, Corsair etc when they know mechanical keyboards.
adding in my 2 cents..
Personally the only thing that sets me back is the full-sized layout only. Plus high shipping cost to Malaysia.
