When the original Das Keyboard hit market it was most notable for lacking any labels for the keys on the keyboard. If you weren’t very comfortable as a touch typist it was far from the ideal keyboard. One of the other notable features of the keyboard was that it came with the old school IBM model M-style mechanical key switches. These mechanical switches were preferred for their tactile feel by many users. In July, the Das Keyboard line will get an update with models featuring markings on the keys for those who want to see what they are hitting and to allow non-touch typists to use the device. The keyboard will feature the same mechanical switches as the original and has an N-key roll-over that allows users to press 12 keys at once. Gamers may find that the new labeled Das Keyboard works well for gaming, though some will prefer macro recording capability like the Logitech G15, which the Das Keyboard lacks. The new Das Keyboard will retail for $129. About Everything USB
