The Das is currently retailing for USD 149. The Das Keyboard can be purchased with either the tactile Cherry MX Brown or the clicky Cherry MX Blue key switches. It retains the aluminium top plate of the more expensive Das Keyboard 4 Professional. The Das Keyboard root edition, as with most other Das Keyboards feels very solid and should last you a long time. The lack of backlight is disappointing, whilst many users would not need RGB lighting, simple white backlighting is handy in dimly lit or dark environments.
The more expensive 4 Professional model includes a USB 3.0 hub, the root edition only has USB 2.0.
It is only available in full size and whilst Das Keyboard does offer a smaller Tenkeyless (TKL) keyboard, I did not find it to be as solid as the root edition. It is not really aimed at gamers though and is best served by typists or for those looking for a robust and reliable mechanical keyboard. The Das Keyboard root edition is one of the most 'sensible' mechanical keyboards you can buy. The top panel of aluminium is replaceable, with alternative top panels available to buy for an extra $29.Check Prices at Das Keyboard Features : 70% The keyboard has five macro keys (similar to the Razer BlackWidow) and red backlighting. The Das Keyboard X40 "Pro Gamer Mechanical Keyboard" (formerly known as Division Zero X40) uses "Alpha Zulu" switches, supposedly Cherry MX clones from Greetech. That said, the Das is fully compatible with Linux and has a USB passthrough. The Ducky has a better build quality, comes with onboard memory, and is available in a much wider range of Cherry MX switches. It was first introduced in January 2015 and it.

Metadot has been accused of banning users from its 5Q forum for mentioning that open source software exists for it on Mac and Linux. Das Keyboard 4C is the compact model of its big brother Das Keyboard 4. It’s comfortable and feels right while typing. Other than that, the keyboard has a great build. It’s a full-size keyboard, and I’m just not a big fan of that. The reason why I never bought it is because of the size. The software is only for Microsoft Windows. I never bought this keyboard, but I’ve tried it. It uses tactile "Gamma Zulu" switches from Omron with backlighting centred on each key surface. This is a cloud-connected keyboard with the backlighting of each key's RGB LED to be controlled over the Internet.

Also I use a PC, so there's no sleep button issues. I never use a palm rest, and I usually keep the keyboard angled somewhat far down. When increasing the volume, you should be turning the knob clockwise - that's how it works everywhere. Metadot seems to be trying to obfuscate this fact on their website, where their 4C product page refers simply to the keyboard's "mechanical key switches" (as opposed to "Cherry MX mechanical key switches" on earlier models' pages). That being said, every complaint about the Das 4 I've seen does not apply to me. It is the first Das keyboard since 2006 not to use Cherry MX switches instead, it is built around Greetech Cherry knock-offs. The 4C, introduced in 2015, is a tenkeyless version of the Das Keyboard 4. But there is a variant with Greetech brown switches as well. Both keyboards can be ordered with Cherry MX blue or brown switches. The standard 'Das Keyboard 4 Professional' and the blank 'Das Keyboard 4 Ultimate'. But if you are still using a computer from the late 90s, you probably are not interested in a new keyboard either. And if you want to get technical, the instructions state you don’t even need a USB 2.0 port.
As of 29th of March, 2014, the Das Keyboard 4 is available for pre-order in two variants. It is truly plug-n-play with no extra software or drivers to install.

The 4th iteration of the Das Keyboard line was revealed in March 2014.
