The Das Keyboard 4 Ultimate Review - Mechanical Keyboard

Here is another mechanical keyboard review and this time it is the Das Keyboard 4 Ultimate. I have saw this on the Das Keyboard official website and the keyboard itself just looks amazing. Previously, I think they didn't not include a volume control wheel, but in this version, you will notice one straight away. I think the volume wheel is really useful to controlling the volume of your system intuitively, you will not need to look for the specific keys on your keyboard to control the volume any more.

Before I move on further with my impression of the keyboard itself, let's take a look that how the Das Keyboard 4 Ultimate looks like!

This is how the Das Keyboard 4 Ultimate looks like! They also have another version which includes the letters, numbers and symbols on the keyboard for those who requires them. However, for those of us who typed everyday and are able to memorise the layout of our keyboard, we may like to give the Das Keyboard 4 Ultimate a consider. Without the letters labelled on our keyboard, we would not need to worry about the letters wears off from our keys after using our keyboard for a long time. Moreover, sometimes having such keyboards might prevent friends or relatives who visit your house to use your computer necessarily if they can't get use to the keyboard without labels.

I haven't actually seen nor try this keyboard as yet, and I doubt I would have the chance. However, I feel if you are able to afford it and enjoy having a quality keyboard to type on. This keyboard is definitely worth the consideration.

The design of the keyboard looks elegant and well built to me. As you can see from the third image, this keyboard also provide a foot rest which is useful for those who like to adjust your keyboard to leaning upwards for a better typing experience.

There are two different switch type available for this model: the blue switches and the brown switches. For the blue switches, it is also known as the clicky version of the keyboard on some website while the brown switches would be the quieter version.

Other than the above, this keyboard is the 104 full keyboard. Some of us prefer a full keyboard, while some of us prefer a more compact keyboard. Different games normally have different ideal condition in order to enjoy the best gaming experience. This keyboard uses a 2.0 or 3.0 USB port, hence, you can choose between the two depending on your preference and your system.

Well, this keyboard does not need a driver to install and is compatible to Linux, Windows, Mac and ChromeOS.

You can find this keyboard in Amazon and perhaps other online shops listed in the official website. If you are living outside of America, you will need to purchase one from one of the online retail shop, or if you are lucky you might find a physical retailer store in your country. More information may be found on the offical Das Keyboard 4 Ultimate website, it's the caption under the image (for those who are wondering).

Personally, the thing I like about the board is the blank key caps that they provide as well as the design of the keyboard itself. Also, I love the volume wheel as well, it enables me to control the volume of my system with much ease.

Of course, the above are my personal preferences. All in all, this is a keyboard for professionals and those who wants to enjoy the maximum typing experience while typing and gaming. So why not give it a consider for those who are able to afford it!

If I'm able to get my hands on experience on the keyboard, I will update this post on that. Till then.
