"WOW!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

What stood out immediately to me right after removing the wrapper (besides the weight) was the build quality. The board (well the top half anyway) is made of tough aluminum. Super sturdy, with absolutely no bend or flex, its rock solid. The lower-half (just as strong) is a type of heavy-duty plastic. With both frames sandwiched together, you have the most secure and well built keyboard frame in the business (could possibly double as a safe-door perhaps). The brown key-switches are a joy to use. A very light key-press, bottoming out keys, produces very little noise, very satisfying quiet typing all day long. The key-caps feel very well constructed, with laser-etched letters/symbols, they will last a life-time. The new addition to the DAS line, is the LED backlight setup. As expected, no fancy “in your face” RGB lighting, just a standard “no frills” white led is what you get. Yes – white is as basic as it gets, but it is a very bright white that clearly illuminates every key, proven to shine bright in daylight also (you wont ever not see a key ever again). I believe that about covers what matters about this keyboard. To conclude – impenetrable construction, satisfying key-switch and very bright led lighting. 10/10
