Reddit mentions of Das Keyboard 4 Professional Mechanical Keyboard - High Performance Soft Tactile Feedback - Enhanced 104 Key Layout - Cherry MX Brown Switches - Oversized Volume Knob - Two Port USB 3.0 - Full NKRO

Das Keyboard 4 Professional, Cherry MX Brown switches. Thing is a productivity beast.

Same here, only thing I was able to find after reading this post that fits my needs perfectly was the Das Keyboard 4 at $149.99 USD

So until my K70 gives out I'm honestly not even gonna think about getting it.

I bought this DAS Keyboard for work over a year ago and it's the best keyboard I've ever used. I have a Razer Blackwidow Chroma at home and this DAS Keyboard stomps it for actual typing. I'm sure it would work fine for gaming, but man - feel like such a boss just smashing away at the keys on this thing. Never has a keyboard been so responsive. Actually improved my typing quality/consistency/speed too which I didn't believe would happen, but legit did.

Just for your information, vortex is a distributor for KBC (the actual brand of keyboard).

I cannot for the life of me find a Shine 3 in stock anywhere, they were wildly popular and are gone pretty much everywhere at this point. Out of the keyboards you listed, the best one really comes down to YOUR needs. If you want a 60%, go with the Pok3r, but if you need backlighting, the Mini will be a good choice. If you want a sleek, well-built TKL go with the Majestouch. If you wanna go with a fullsize board, the Das is your option (or a Rosewill board if you want to keep costs low).

Assuming you're referring to the Pok3r, you can find it with MX Browns here.



edit: this shop sells a bunch of Filcos, however they are Europe-based so shipping might be slightly outlandish.

edit^2: you can find the Ducky Mini (silver case) with MX Browns here

edit^3: here is an Amazon link to the Das with Browns

edit^4: you can find a Ducky Shine 5 with MX Browns here (basically just a newer version of the Shine 3)

Before the XPS 13, I used 15" laptops by themselves. This time around, I wanted to try something different: something small, lightweight, and with good battery life while I'm on the go, but with a desktop-like experience when I'm at my desk. That's why I chose to buy an XPS 13 9350 and a WD15 (Dell's USB-C Dock). By plugging in a single cable into my laptop's USB-C port (laptop to dock), I connect my laptop to a 25" 1440p monitor, a mechanical keyboard, a mouse, power (USB-C can provide up to 100 watts of power), headphones, a microphone, a backup SSD, and a micro USB cable (for phone, Xbox One controller for emulation, etc). I also have a highly adjustable office chair with great back support. Then when I want to take the laptop somewhere, I unplug that one single cable, put the laptop in a perfectly sized sleeve/bag hybrid, and go. It's a rather nice setup, especially now that Dell addressed my USB-C stability issues in a recent BIOS update (version 1.4.4 that came out a few days ago).

You make a good point about charging all the time being bad for the battery, but the dock /desktop mode is a core part of my setup and there's not a way to use the dock without it charging the laptop. I suppose I could start unplugging the laptop from the dock each night before I go to bed. That won't entirely fix the problem, but it should help some while still giving me the benefits of the dock.

You might want to look into the Das Keyboard 4

All of these keyboards are around 11-15K on amazon, including shipping and customs, And i would like to point out that Mechancial keyboards are repairable and very flexible, You can buy Parts for Dirt cheap.

I wont bother with warranty when it comes to mechas, If anything by chance goes bad, you can easily buy replacement parts in India from aliexpress.com ( no customs/shipping or any other issues at all, a lot of people shop from there) besides amazon has a 30 day money back guarantee.

I'm looking for a keyboard as a gift for people who probably have never used a mechanical keyboard. Their requirements are a bit silly. They absolutely have to have a volume knob built into the keyboard. And not the kind that's a roller but the kind that rotates in the same plane as the keyboard. Think like a car volume knob.

So far it looks like Das Keyboard 4 Professional MX browns fits the bill but $150 is a bit hard to swallow as a gift. I'm not exactly made of money, you know?

My question is simple, is there anything out there that's mechanical and has the volume knob and is less expensive than $150?

Das Keyboard IV, mainly for the sex appeal

Desk: IKEA Linnmon/Oddvald. Pretty solid desk for the price, although leg room is a bit lacking, probably upgrading soon.

Chair: DXRacer Formula Series, really helped my posture and got rid of my back pain. Plus I'm a huge gear-head so it's very much my style.

Keyboard: Das Keyboard Professional w/ Brown Switches. This keyboard is fantastic, it's a treat to use every day, feels buttery smooth to type on and build quality is superb. I also have a CM Quickfire Ultimate that I use at work, also browns.

Mouse: Zowie EC2-A. Replaced my old Logitech G400 when it started intermittently cutting out, I think I like this mouse even more.

Mousepad: SteelSeries QcK+ for all that low DPI goodness.

Headset: Kingston HyperX Cloud II. I love this headset, it's super comfortable and has good directional sound.

Speakers: Cyber Acoustics CA-3602 FFP. I use my headset mainly but these are good enough for when I need them.

Monitors: BenQ XL2411Z flanked by two ASUS VS247H-P mounted on an Ergotech Triple Monitor Stand. Finally got the monitor stand this year after using two boxes to hold up my side monitors for far too long. However, the BenQ is probably my favorite purchase out of all of these, would've bought three if it served any real benefit to me.

Random Peripherals: uxcell extended power switch. I keep my computer under my desk so this is handy so I don't have to crouch under my desk to turn on my computer.

Inateck PCI-E to USB 3.0 5-Port PCI Express Card. My motherboard came with a fairly low number of USB ports so this allows me to plug in my printer and external hard drive, etc.

Das full size keyboards has cherry switches and the 4 model has volume controls. and it's just under $170.

I'm looking for a keyboard that is professional-looking and quiet and has macro buttons on the left side. Right now im looking at the Das 4 professional, but I just wish it had macro buttons on the side. DOes anyone know of a keyboard like that?

this is what im looking for, but with macros

USA Amazon. Yes, there are but they are sold by Tiger Imports and they dont ship to Mexico.
Usually there its shipping to Mexico when its sold by Amazon directly. Like [this one](

You can see it says "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com. Gift-wrap available"

Thank you anyway :).

Been using this for years and love it. Has browns, as several other people have recommended

If noise is a problem, do not get blues. I would suggest browns. As far as keyboards, please take a good look at the Das Keyboard Pro 4. It is the best keyboard I have typed on so far. If you want cheaper, the CM Quickfire Rapid and CM Quickfire XT are good choices as well.

Heya, guys! I'm hoping to place a purchase on my first mechanical keyboard fairly soon, but I'm still not entirely sure which one I want to purchase, since there are so many options. I've narrowed the switches down to brown or blue, though the latter seems like it's better for what I want to do: both all around gaming and typing. I like tactile feedback, and while I don't think I'd mind the clicky-noise, I'm not so sure about it working as well in future settings. In any case, I definitely want to get a full size keyboard with some basic multi-media keys. My budget is in the $150~ range.

Currently, Das Keyboards (1, 2) are looking pretty slick, but things like Ducky's Shine 4 is also pretty appealing. What would you guys recommend going for?

These are the keyboard and mouse combos that I have owned. Oldest at the top and newest at the bottom. All of these are good options but I would recommend saving up a little bit extra and buy a cheap mechanical keyboard such as the Cherry G80 3000 for £57.66, which is one of the cheapest mechanical keyboards out there. Another thing is that you will probably find all of these even cheaper if you shop around.

I'm looking to buy my first mechanical board, and I'm stuck between two right now. I mostly will use it for work (typing), but also occasionally gaming as well.

I'm looking at the Rosewill Helios and Das Keyboard 4:

http://www.amazon.com/Das-Keyboard-Professional-Soft-Tactile/dp/B00JG01QTY/

I realize the Das is $100 more than the Helios, and appears to be much nicer in terms of build quality, but is it something that I'll really notice without having used other mechanical keyboards to compare it to? Also I'm not stuck on those two, so any suggestions would be great! I'm leaning towards MX Brown, and numpad/media keys are a must.

All i can do is help with the keyboards for now :D

I have a k70 mx red and love it. Aside from my headphones, my most worthwhile purchase as of yet. However, ducky, coolermaster, and logitech make pretty decent keyboards. My runner up when I was researching keebs was this: https://www.amazon.com/Das-Keyboard-Professional-Mechanical-DASK4MKPROSIL/dp/B00JG01QTY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1510694756&sr=8-3&keywords=mechanical+keyboard+ducky

Ducky keyboard with MX browns. A bit smoother and less clicky than mx reds but pretty nice still.

I don't know what your budget is, but I would highly recommend a Das 4. Here's a link to buy on Amazon.
