Description

Das Keyboard Model S Professional Silent sports high-end, mechanical key switches that click less than its cousin, the Model S Professional. This quieter model is ideal for people working in an open environment or for workers who need to type while talking on the phone. The Model S Silent keeps its outstanding tactile feel. The other features are identical to the Model S Professional, including a two-port USB 2.0 hub and newly redesigned electronics that provide full n-key rollover.

PC or Mac, Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X

2 USB ports or 1 USB port + 1 PS/2 port

  • USB to PS/2 adapter (included)

No driver required

Mac users can swap the command/control/op­tions keys to match the Mac keyboard layout using the Mac OS X keyboard control panel

Review by Jeffrey on 15th March, 2012
5 stars "Great first introduction to the world of mechanical keyboards"

After reading a bunch of reviews, I settled on the Cherry MX Brown switches that are in the Das Silent keyboard.

After receiving the keyboard it definitely takes a few days to get used to but I can say that key-presses are far more consistent on the Das compared to my old rubber-dome keyboards. It's also built extremely well and feels very solid.

After a week or so using this keyboard, I feel that it's more fun to use (if you can even call typing fun). It's a more enjoyable experience doing a lot of writing on the Das compared to any other standard keyboard.

If you're a typist and concerned about noise then the silent model is the one to get. However, be warned that once you try a mechanical keyboard you won't want to go back. Most likely you'll also be tempted to increase your keyboard collection in the future to try the different switches.

5 stars "Awesome"

Brought the Model S Ultimate Keyboard a few months ago.

Was a little worried about having no “letters” on the keys, but as being able to touch type from school it has proven its worth.

This keyboard has made my typing skills more GOSU

Great feel when pressing keys and good clicky noise that can annoying everyone in the flat if your typing away or playing some SC2. Good retro looking keyboard.

Only concern is playing FPS, should maybe get the the coloured key set so the WASD keys are easier to find, but this has only been a complaint from friends using the das keyboard.

Does someone know where to get the WASD kit (with the key remover) aside from Aussie-

If you can touch type try find the Model S Ultimate Keyboard

But the professional is the one if you cannot touch type and want something other than “razor” keyboards.

5 stars "A good solid unit with a mildly retro feel"

I bought this for my macbook as its mac compatible with replaceable key caps available (the nice people at MM are getting the mac caps in for me). On the downside the f keys aren't mac functions but as a result of that you get f5 and page keys that the macbook doesn't. The keyboard has a solid feel with positive switch action and a clear click (not silent). It reminds me of the early terminal / IBM keyboards of the 80's.
It may not suit those with a “touch screen” preference but it's great if you like something with a rugged feel to it.
Rugged enough that you can remove the caps and clean it properly but not rugged enough to put in the dishwasher :)
