Because of that they were used in the Das Silent. The Cherry Browns have a standard mechanism without anything to add an additional click. You can see a good example of how it works at the following link. A Cherry MX Blue switch uses what they call a “Mexican Jumping Bean” mechanism to give it that distinctive click. Both switches look very similar from the outside other than the different colors used on them. The normal uses a Cherry MX Blue Mechanical switch while the Silent comes with Cherry MX Brown Mechanical switches. Popping one of the keycaps you can see what’s behind the difference between the normal and silent versions. We will find out if that affects performance in our testing later though. Oddly enough, when using the flip out feet you only have two rubber legs on the table the feet don’t have a rubber grip. To angle the keyboard up, you have two flip down flaps on the back corners to raise the back up just over a half inch. On the bottom of the keyboard you have four inch and a half long rubber strips to keep the board from moving while typing.

As a gamer this is a little disappointing because having the function key in place of the windows key prevented us from bumping the windows key mid game. After doing a little research I found that the media key version is no longer available at all. The silent version is lacking the function key along with the media keys. The non-silent version includes media keys and a function key in place of the left side windows key.

When comparing the Model S Professional Silent to the Model S Professional that we covered before there are a few differences other than the obvious difference in mechanical switch used. Unlike the Model M the Das Keyboard includes the windows key though. The key layout is a traditional one with a single height enter key, similar to the Model M. The entire keyboard is made out of a dust and finger print collecting glossy finish. The new design is a little more stylish than the original.

You need to mutate a few more arms to fully take advantage of this feature.The original Das Keyboard had the standard Model M design but the Model S is a little different. This is great for gamers who will find themselves holding down buttons to sprint (shift-key) forward (w-key) while reloading (r-key) while checking their map (m-key). This means every key is scanned independently which makes every key press detectable despite how many keys are being pressed at one time.

There’s also an instant “sleep” button for putting your PC to rest quickly.įinally, the keyboard supports full n-key rollover (with the included PS/2 adapter attached, 6-key when using USB) for the high-end chasers. Other basic features include media controls such as using the “function” key to adjust the volume, pause/play, stop and switch tracks.

The keybaord takes up 2 USB slots-then gives them right back to you. Fear not, they have a good excuse-one powers the keyboard while the other powers two USB 2.0 ports located on the right side of the keyboard, perfect for easily plugging in those flash drives and phones.

The keyboard is going to be using up two USB ports so you’d best free up some USB real estate. After using the keyboard for just a few days I could feel the difference in my accuracy and speed. The keys themselves are smooth and concaved, perfectly spaced for some comfy and accurate typing. The keyboard uses Cherry MX Red key switches to keep the keyboard mechanical but silent, literally no louder than its squishier nemesis.
