Anyone here own a DAS Keyboard 4 Professional?
I bought one to replace my awesome Logitech 30 ringgit brudder that has recently developed a failure in the "K" button. Hopefully it'll be at my front door when I get back home. Was going to get a Filco, but the DasKB was on 25 percent discount on ebay + extra FF points. |

QUOTE(quovadis123 @ Apr 12 2015, 11:38 AM) Typist use tactile switches, like MX Brown (Tactile), MX Clear (clear Tactile), MX Blue (Tactile, Clicky) and other variances. I thought it was pretty cheap actually. It's less people get DAS 4, I think you are the second person in this forum declared having DAS. The reason because it's expensive. Not worth for money I should say. Anyway, welcome to the club, you will exposed to many switches here. Hope you will try switches like Cherry MX ergo-Clear or Topre (45g or 55g) to complete your typist world. The only reason I got one is because I used my friend's ducky when I visited him. Unfortunately I can't take a keyboard with a picture of duck on it seriously enough to buy it and I really like the fit and finish of the DAS, because it reminds me a lot of the industrial keyboards I used to program on when I was a field engineer working at QGC's Ruby Jo. Plus the alu top is a really nice addition. Now if I could only get metallic keysets not made out of Zinc or Alu. |

QUOTE(DarkSilver @ Apr 12 2015, 11:57 AM) Industrial Keyboard? We mostly used industrial Cherry keyboards on site with slot card readers, others included Ikey or whatever those crazy bastids at GETAC use. I would recommend other brands... LOL. Maybe, GMK Triumph Adler? Or, you can try Realforce Keyboards, they're REALLY INDUSTRIAL Keyboards. I like the DAS because due to the industrial design feel and the the strong use of lines and curvature, generally the design aesthetic is very nice. |
