das keyboard 4 proa

   Since the late 90's early 2000 it almost feels like the entire PC market revolves around gamers of all ages and types and that goes double when it comes to input devices like keyboards and mice. Manufacturers like Microsoft and IBM did try to cater to the needs of the professional community all around the world in the 90’s with high quality ergonomic keyboards and keyboards offering good tactile and audible feedback but now that i look back at that time that didn't really pan out since most manufacturers turned towards gamers really fast. There are still however some manufacturers that go against the "flow" of things and although their solutions are obviously aimed towards professionals they are also chosen by gamers all over the world. Das Keyboard is one of the leading companies in that field and today we're taking a look at their latest keyboard model the Das Keyboard 4 Professional.


   Das Keyboard, a brand of Metadot, makes high-quality mechanical keyboards, along with RFID blocking gear that protects user privacy. Das Keyboard is a privately held technology company headquartered in Austin, Texas dedicated to delivering innovative technology products to increase productivity and lower costs. Developed in 2005, Das Keyboard has been praised by major media outlets, techie magazines, geeks and regular people who use and rely on keyboards to be productive throughout the workday.

   With us we have the Das Keyboard 4 Professional model that features Cherry MX Brown switches but the same model is also available with Cherry MX Blue switches for people who want louder audible and higher tactile feedback (both types of switches are gold-plated). The Das Keyboard 4 Professional keyboard however has many tricks up its sleeve so it also features a top anodized aluminum panel, UV coated key caps, two USB 3.0 SuperSpeed ports, dedicated media controls, sleep button (power saving feature), full n-key rollover (NKRO), single USB 3.0 connector (no extra power is required for use of the front USB 3.0 ports) and a magnetic foot bar which also doubles as a ruler. The question we're here to answer today is whether or not the Das Keyboard 4 Professional can be the one stop for both professionals and gamers alike so let's move forward with our review.
