Though the Soft version is available only in a Windows PC model, you can buy a $14 Mac Key Cap Set to swap out the Windows-specific keys for Mac versions.) (Das Keyboard offers a $135 Soft Pressure Point version of the Model S Professional that, like the Quiet Pro, delivers the feel of a mechanical-keyboard without the noise. As Das Keyboard notes, the feature benefits not just fast typists but also gamers, who frequently mash multiple keys at once. To increase precision, Das Keyboard equipped the Model S Professional with circuitry that permits five-key rollover: You can press up to five keys simultaneously, and the keyboard will still detect the discrete presses and accurately generate the appropriate characters. Like many other typists who prefer mechanical keyboards, I find them more accurate and easier to type on than membrane keyboards.
Matias’s ALPS-made keyswitches produce a hollow “clunk” sound, while Das Keyboard’s Cherry MX switches offer a crisp “click.” But the sensation in each case is precise, highly tactile, and quite physical-nothing like the soft, mushy, indistinct key presses you experience with a membrane keyboard. Like Matias’s keyboards, the Model S has a solid, recognizable, mechanical feel, but they differ in their key travel and switch sensation. Das Keyboard provides removal instructions and a video, and it also sells a special key-removal tool for users who dislike the idea of prying off key caps with whatever tool thay have on hand. You can easily and safely remove most of the key caps in order to clean the dust, crumbs, and other detritus that gets underneath. The Model S’s sculpted, black plastic keys have a matte finish, and its gold-plated MX keyswitches from Cherry Corp. (If you don’t plan to use the keyboard’s USB ports, you can leave its second cable unplugged to avoid needlessly occupying a USB port on your Mac.)
Most other keyboards, including Apple’s wired model, divide power between what the keyboard itself needs and what the keyboard’s built-in USB ports can provide 250mA is sufficient for syncing and charging iPhones and iPods, though most iPads will need a separate AC adapter. One plug is for the keyboard itself the other offers power (250mA) and connectivity to the two USB 2.0 ports located on the keyboard’s right side. The Model S Professional connects to your Mac via a 6-foot USB cable that terminates in two USB plugs. It’s tapered from top to bottom to produce a contoured shape and pop-out feet under the back edge let you raise the rear of the keyboard if you like. The Model S Professional is a big, solid slab of glossy-black plastic that weighs about 3 pounds. The actual switches hidden under each key produce a solid “clack” in response to each key press. A cheaper Model S keyboard is available that forgoes the aluminium frame.Mechanical keyboards, which have hardware switches underneath the keys, cater to computer users who prefer a stronger tactile key response than they can get with today’s membrane keyboards, including Apple’s current keyboards. 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. Check Prices at Das Keyboard Features : 70%
