Best. Keyboard. Ever.

Are you geeky enough for this?

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 :)

Not to mention, this is just a rebadged $25 Keytronic keyboard.

I imagine that this keyboard would be of great help to typing instructors. Although why they couldn't just use nail polish on the keys, I don't know...

I looked even closer at this thing, and A) its pretending to be a Model M... the plastic is shaped like the model M B) It does NOT use buckling spring switches... it uses the cheap membrane switch like almost every other keyboard on the market... 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.

I'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.)

I've never used one of these blank key keyboards, but it thats all they have going for them, they cant possibly be the best keyboards... 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!
