Das Keyboard Model S Professional Cherry MX Blue Mechanical Keyboard - Clicky

So I have never written a product review before. I have never felt the urge to sing the praises of a product like I do with the Das Keyboard. First, let me begin with stating that my profession requires a ton of data entry and when I am not at work I am typing up multitudes of papers for school. I do quite a bit of typing on a day to day basis and usually spend upwards of 8-12 hours a day in front of a computer, between work and school. For the past 10 years or so I have used terribly designed membrane keyboards that usually come stock with new computers. Due to my extreme amount of typing I have also developed a consistent pain in my fingers after typing for more than a few hours at a time. Due to this I decided to go ahead and bite the bullet and purchase a quality keyboard. After a few weeks of researching which switches would suit me best I finally decided on Cherry Mx blue switches as noise was not an issue and extreme comfort and tactile response were of utmost importance to me. I am the kind of person that will go ahead and spend the money up front on a quality product rather than going low-mid range and having to replace the product many times over. At first I thought the $120+ price tag on this product was ridiculous but after reading many reviews I decided to go for it. The keyboard arrived at my doorstep a few days ago and I have used it for 8-10 hours a day since then. I can report that it is by far the best keyboard I have ever owned and it has spoiled me for life. I love this keyboard so much that I will soon purchase another to use at work as well as home. The tactile response of the keys is superb and the build quality is second to none. It is very hefty and extremely sturdy. I do a fair amount of gaming as well, anything from your typical FPS games to MMORPGs. This keyboard does not disappoint when it comes to gaming, although I have a feeling the Cherry Mx Black switches would probably be a bit better, the Blues are more than adequate. Also, this keyboard is very professional looking and definitely looks like something that belongs on a grown adult's desk. The lack of gaudy lighting and neon green logos is refreshing. If you do a fair amount of typing in your day-to-day life please do yourself a favor and order one of these keyboards ASAP. The price tag may seem a little steep but once you type on one of these you will be spoiled for life and will never go back to cheap stock keyboards.

Ok, I could probably write an extensive nearly novel-length review of this outstanding gaming keyboard and the set of circumstances that led from my purchase of the Das X50Q Mechanical RGB wired gaming keyboard to the rapid series of events taking me from arrival of said keyboard, unboxing and initial assessment of it's quality and features that took a sudden and unfortunate sharp turn of events that began with an accidental tripping and violent ripping of the keyboard's USB cable connector piece directly from my gaming PC's USB 3.0 port situated on the front end topside panel and absolutely wrecked the connection end of my brand new keyboard (and fortunately that was the only damage as I expected to see significant damage to my PC port sustained when the keyboard connection piece was violently yanked at an odd angle from the closest to the couch side USB ports available with 3.0 hardware, alas God looks after the interests of drunks and fools and my PC was tip top)... As the incident was my own doing and definitely beyond the scope of any manufacturer warranty and optional extended warranty coverage offered (and of course, declined at the time) for purchase by whomever it is that provides Amazon customers those additional warranty protection policy up-sells, Assurance, I wanna say??? It doesn't matter they wouldn't have covered this even if I had purchased and had filed a claim for repairs or replacement of my Das X50Q given the nature of the damage and the limited warranty terms listed as being covered by them. Either way I decided I'd contact Das and determine if they had any service sites to possibly have my keyboard repaired by a qualified technician or authorized vendor I could pay to get the necessary work and hardware completed, or simply a source for the recommended hardware components that the manufacturer themselves could refer me to in order that I may promptly rectify the damages my careless placement of their well-built product had been 100% responsible for causing to occur. Never at any point had I considered any other conclusion not involving me paying for shipping and service parts/labor and likely return shipping costs exceeding the original $129.99 price tag I'd been so stoked to acquire a mechanical keyboard with so many features just a few weeks earlier. But I would have the keyboard and that was better than eating the cost and tossing the otherwise pristine hardware I'd just begun to explore and enjoyed immensely as I did and I was willing to as I had long been curious about this company and their highly recommended product line. But definitely was a downer that I feared would stain the entire experience with a negative overall vibe once I finally managed to get it fixed and back to me to resume using, probably purchasing an additional cheap wireless with barebones build and less durable materials at the under $50 price point to see me through the lengthy process I'd be stuck waiting for and hoping would result in a repair quality nigh indistinguishable from the factory brand new product I'd wrecked with one stupidly misplaced foot and yeah...I wasn't feeling that new toy day after Christmas getting to know you vibe anymore and I knew at best I'd be a satisfied but not enthused Das Keyboard customer, through no fault of the Das product, engineers, sales or support department in any way whatsoever. Nevertheless I was left to resolve this unfortunate situation as quickly as possible and reclaim my prize whatever the cost so I sent an inquiry to Das through Amazon and waited. Long story significantly shortened for your convenience and attention span needs. The inquiry was quickly rerouted to the correct department and individual representative who promptly responded with friendly, genuinely interested in resolution of my situation messages that would leave me as the one lagging in my response times and apologizing for late or delayed responses that I could clearly tell indicated attentive, informed and interested personnel of a higher standard of professionalism and desire to resolve the issue with a satisfied customer if at all possible. I had to pay for shipping services to their site in Austin, TX and that was absolutely fine as I would be told within 24 hours of my keyboard arriving at their offices an order for a new replacement keyboard was authorized and due to ship by the end of that day, my new keyboard due to arrive by the end of the business day Friday, one week from the day they received and 5 days from being able to review and confirm the claim and order a replacement be sent. That's ABSOLUTELY above and beyond the most conscientious of customer satisfaction focused brands I've ever experienced, particularly a tech manufacturer in the PC gaming related sector as it stands halfway through 2022. Summer, you and everyone who worked with me over the past week and change in resolving this quickly and with the unexpected results you provided despite having plenty of legit reasoning that would have supported rejection of warranty claim entirely and the speed and genuine feeling that you were happy to help a customer have a positive experience despite a situation that by nature meant something had gone off the rails in a negative direction...I can't thank you and your colleagues enough for the way you handled everything so fast and patiently. I'll recommend your product for support quality alone as that's an increasingly rare occurrence amongst an expanding number of clones and copies fighting for dominance and at an increasingly expensive buy-in for products with all the necessary features and well implemented extras with quality component materials, build quality and an assumption that a minimum standard of support being included in software patches/updates, assistance with issues encountered while connecting or operating a product or the least likely but most concerning possible scenario requiring replacement or repair work for a variety of possible reasons from quality issues related to assembly, flawed design, component quality or damages that occur at any of a number of potential custodial points in the chain of custody a product passes from the initial manufacturer site to shipping centers, wholesalers, retailers, various storefronts, warehouses and specialty shops where they are to remain until sold and shipped off to the place they will hopefully be used and enjoyed by a satisfied customer for many years to come. It took me longer to review and read this submission than it did for the fine folks at Das Keyboards to review and resolve my support claim (surprisingly not a straight up denial of my request, so 😘🤌🏻💋). Much love to everyone at Das and anyone on the fence about ordering from them I say this: WHO SITS ON A FENCE? DON'T BE SO WEIRD. PEOPLE DON'T WANT WEIRDOS AROUND THEIR KIDS OR PETS. OH YEAH. ALSO IF YOU WANT EXTREMELY GOOD BUILD MATERIALS, HIGH QUALITY ENGINEERING, TONS OF GREAT GAMING FEATURES, SOLID OVERALL OFFERING AND TOPPED OFF WITH AN EXCEPTIONAL SUPPORT EXPERIENCE SHOULD YOU REQUIRE ANYTHING BEYOND THE ORIGINAL ORDER AND SHIPPING OF A DAS KEYBOARD - BE THAT SOFTWARE SET-UP, FUNCTIONALITY ASSISTANCE OR WARRANTY RELATED QUESTIONS - THIS IS MY HEARTFELT RECOMMENDATION FOR A TOP TIER GAMING KEYBOARD THAT CHECKS ALL THE MOST IMPORTANT BOXES AND MOST OF THE OPTIONAL ONES AS WELL. LOVE MY DAS AND LOVE THE PEOPLE AT DAS!!!

È un piacere da usare. Ci vogliono alcuni giorni per adattarsi ed avvantaggiarsi della superiore velocità di scrittura e precisione (finché non si capisce l'esatto punto di key pressed). Non è silenziosissima (ma neanche fastidiosamente rumorosa come la versione Blue).

WELL. It is a DAS. That much I 'll give it to them. Unfortunately, a comparison between this product and the Ultimate Clicky which I also own can show that this iteration is totally inferior. The Ultimate not only has switches that respond much better to typing but also these switches are used in all the keys, including e.g. space bar and the other keys that have stabilisers. If you can, order the Ultimate model and buy additional keycaps to switch the keys if you so desire. The quality is there but I believe that for its' price you can get far better mechanical keyboards. A quick research shows that the professional keyboards use different switches (not Cherry MX) than the ultimate ones. If you are really picky, you should avoid it all the way and get a true Cherry MX experience. Because the Model S Professional, simply doesn't cut it. On the pros side, if there is one, it's a bit more quiet (I compared blue switches in both cases) than the Ultimate one - but if you are going for the blue switches, noise I think is not your main concern now, is it?

This is a great keyboard for those looking for a great typing experience. The MX Blue switches offers a nice "clicky" tactile feedback that makes typing word documents a complete joy. The keys are loud, responsive, and makes the entire typing experience a lot easier to bear after slugging away page after page. The switch from a traditional keyboard to a mechanical keyboard is simply night and day. Previously I was using the standard HP keyboard for my every-day use, and I would grow tired of typing before long. I decided that purchasing a mechanical keyboard would be the best option for me, and I ended up choosing this particular Das product. The difference, as previously mentioned, was night and day. Typing now is no longer a chore, and I can sit for longer periods of time without having to complain about a terrible keyboard. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that I can also use this on a Windows OS with no problems what so ever right out of the box. One aspect I was slightly disappointed by however was the plastic finish on the keyboard. Paying this kind of money, it would have been nice to see a metal finish, like some of the other keyboards Das has to offer. However, the build quality is still very sturdy and screams quality. The product has a nice bit of weight to it, and the overall feel of the keyboard is premium. A metal finish however, would have elevated the product.
