Best. Keyboard. Ever.

Das Keyboard is a 104-key USB keyboard with all completely blank keys and it's Mac OS X compatible. Now let's see who the better touch-typist is, shall we?
I'm a dork for admitting this, but I'd buy one if it was white :)

C) The lack of key labels also cuts down on price with no benifit to the user... Of course I've never used one, but from what it looks like its just a normal keyboard without keycaps. And the weighting thing seems terribly uninteresting to me.

May 22 2005 at 5:07 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI'm much more interested by Das Keyboard's keypress weighting; different keys require more or less force depending on which finger is hitting them. (I also do like the blank keycaps; they enforce touch-typing and that's cool.)

The best keyboard ever is the IBM Model M - no company will ever put as much effort into designing and manufacturing a durable, efficient or comfortable keyboard. If you've never used one or don't know what they are check out Dan's data revew: http://www.dansdata.com/ibmkeyboard.htm or these other links http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node=IBM%20Model%20M%20Keyboard http://www.clickykeyboard.com/ Model M 4 Life!
