" ... Very nice keyboard. ... "
" ... Great keyboard as always from Das. ... It turns out I still prefer blue switches, but brown is a perfect compromise for a keyboard I can use in an open cubicle setting at the workplace. ... "
" ... This a simple mechanical keyboard that is awesome to type on and the brown switches are excellent for my office environment as they are quite quiet for such a mechanical style switch - still a bit clacky though. ... Having the two USB 3 ports on the keyboard is great. ... "
" ... Best keyboard ever, im going to buy another one for work ... "
" ... Super responsive and tactile keys are perfect for me when i switch from typing to gaming. ... Also really innovative for the added USB slots in the keyboard to connect extra peripherals.10/10 would recommend. ... "
" ... Nice typing feeling with the clicky yet soft keys. ... Solid build, heavy keyboard, not moving around for no reason. ... "
" ... I could not believe the difference a well engineered keyboard made to my typing. ... "
" ... Excellent keyboard, as expected. ... Also, I notice pretty good workmanship and materials on the inside of the keyboard. ... "

" ... I have waited my entire adult life for this keyboard. ... "
" ... The feeling of the keys is so amazing! ... "
" ... Keys feel very nice. ... "
" ... The quality, fit and finish of this keyboard are excellent. ... "
" ... Either way, they key-caps are really nice, and fit really well on the switches. ... There's enough lift that you'll want a wrist-rest, but relative to other mechanical keyboards, it's noticeably thin. ... "
" ... This keyboard feels very solid. ... The keys feel very comfortable to type on. ... "

" ... I love the tactile feedback from the mechanical keys and the clickity clack sound that comes from the Brown switches is satisfying as well. ... Although I don't listen to a lot of media on my Mac, the volume knob is a great feature and not "backwards" (at least to me) as others have reported. ... "
" ... My experience to date has been with "quiet" clicky keys. ... The media keys are also a welcome inclusion, though don't do much set the keyboard apart. ... The clicky-wheel volume knob feels amazing, though I've also had volume wheels on all my other mechanical keyboards. ... "
" ... Favorite thing about the keyboard would be the media controls to stop and play Spotify while playing league of legends. ... "
" ... The separate media, mute and volume knob are unexpected wins for me, I didn't know how much I'd use them until they were there . ... "
" ... Some keys would be crisp and some keys would be mush. ... The keys are responsive and simply flow as you're typing. ... "
" ... The feeling of the keys is so amazing! ... "
" ... The build of the 4 in particular is excellent with the aluminum top panel, and the quality of the lettering on the keys is subtly premium. ... The media and sleep buttons are useful and the volume knob is fantastic. ... "
" ... The volume knob is also super handy for quick volume changing and muting. ... "

" ... I got the Mac version mix brown switches. ... "
" ... Has changed my whole relationship with my desktop - no more "chicklets" for me! ... "
" ... After doing much research, I kept reading about the DAS keyboards for Mac. ... "
" ... I bought one previously from Canada Computers. ... "
" ... Although I don't listen to a lot of media on my Mac, the volume knob is a great feature and not "backwards" (at least to me) as others have reported. ... "
" ... Perfect companion for my iMac. ... "
" ... I would chalk this more up to Windows 10 and its connectivity - but regardless the ease of use there is nice. ... "

" ... I love this over the Das Model S for the single USB 3 cable rather than the dual-port one ... and the onboard USB 3 hub works great. ... "
" ... Also really innovative for the added USB slots in the keyboard to connect extra peripherals.10/10 would recommend. ... "
" ... USB ports are handy. ... "
" ... The USB hub is also a fine thing to have, though I'd rarely use it. ... Something unadvertised about the Root edition (the distinguishing feature of which is a 2.0 hub, rather than a 3.0 hub) is that it only needs one USB cable going to the CPU, rather than needing a second one dedicated to the hub. ... "
" ... USB Connection to desktop - I would have expected at this price point that the cord would be braided and detachable. ... "
" ... Having the two USB 3 ports on the keyboard is great. ... "
" ... The media keys work right out of the gate, plugged into a USB 3.0. ... "
" ... The USB 3 hub is very useful and well positioned. ... "
