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

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).

I normally don't review things on Amazon these days, but I felt that I had to make a few points about this keyboard. Because I'm in love with it. Seriously, if I could marry an inanimate object, I would marry this board. I'll start off by saying that this is not my first mechanical keyboard. I'm also the owner of a CM Storm Quickfire Stealth with Cherry MX Blue switches. It was my first mechanical, I've been using it for quite a while now, and I love it to death. It's a fantastic board that I'd recommend to anybody. I've also been using the typical rubber-bubble cheapo keyboard on my work computer, and I decided that since I do the majority of my typing in the office, I should make the investment and get a mechanical board for my desk. I immediately began looking via Reddit's /r/mechanicalkeyboards and saw quite a few recommendations for this Das board. I love the letterless, minimalist look of the board, and even better, I love that it's a full board. My CM Storm is a tenkeyless version, and you never realize how much you end up missing the number pad until it's not there. Even though I love the Cherry MX Blues on my CM Storm, I decided to go with Cherry MX Browns on my work keyboard, since they're a quieter version of the incredibly clickclacky Cherry MX Blues that my CM Storm was equipped with and I didn't want to annoy anybody in the office with my loud typing. I purchased the Das just three days ago, and the day immediately after I did so I was informed that the opportunity to use my own personal keyboard on my work machine ended up falling through (A long story, I won't go into detail as to why). So I was set to return this just this afternoon when I figured, "Eh, why not open it up and take it for a test drive? Can't hurt, and I can always seal it back up and return it afterwards". And that is when my mind was totally blown by this board. Everything about it is absolutely superb. The board is solidly built; it feels like a slab of granite. The keys are beautifully minimalist. Even the company logo on the board is a nice, minimalist font. In the beginning, comparing it side-by-side with my CM Storm, I felt that the lack of clicking from the Cherry MX Browns was a turn off. Now, as I've used it more, I realize I greatly prefer the Cherry MX Browns dull thud to the high-pitched clacking of the Blues. I've just been using this board only for the latter half of today, and I already know what I'm going to do. I'm going to keep it and make it my new main keyboard for my home PC, because the $130 investment was totally worth it. So I'm throwing my CM Storm (which I really do love) back into its box and into a drawer. That's how good this Das board is. Typing on it is so indescribably satisfying. It's like popping packing bubbles, or peeling off the plastic on the bezel of a new television. Seriously, it's damn near a religious experience. If I had any criticism of this keyboard, it would probably be the gloss finish that I can imagine will easily become populated with fingerprints as time goes on. There's literally nothing else wrong with it. I realize that a big weakness of this review is that I've only used the keyboard for a few hours, and thus can't speak to its durability. So I'll be coming back in a few months to chime in on how the board holds up. I've built several PCs, from entry level, to enthusiast gamer level. I've used dozens of different keyboards, mice, headphones, and other peripherals over my years as a gamer and a builder. And as of now, with just 3-4 hours of using this board, I can say that it's absolutely, by far, my favorite peripheral I've ever used. It's just that good. If you're considering purchasing it, just do it and don't look back. I promise you won't be disappointed.

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.
