What customers say about "Keys"

Das Keyboard 5Q Mechanical Keyboard

RGB lighting very well adjustable and it's possible to get alerts with lightning.
High quality chassis and keycap finish. Typing experience is amazing.
I find this style of switch perfectly comfortable to type on.
If you like deeper travel, heavier switches, or a stronger tactile feel, these are not for you.
Not worth the money I spend. While typing it hardly makes any difference since the keys register when pressed as default mechanical keyboard.

Das Keyboard 4Q Cherry MX RGB Brown

The processing of the keyboard is very good and has a very nice writing experience.
The RGB lighting is great, as I can easily see keys at night.
The keyboard feels fantastic to type on, no surprise given the Cherry MX Brown switches that Das has included under the hood.
Dedicated media controls is good as it get more comfortable to use.
Typing on this keyboard is even more satisfying than I expected.

The wrist rest magnetically detachable and the most comfortable i've used.
It’s nice that you can easily get the full context of the alert in a single button press.
Comfy wrist rest. This is made of silicone, and this is really make this comfy.
Das keyboards use powerful software, where you can programm everything.
I do wish the notification features allowed for more than a single key.

Das Keyboard 4Q Cherry MX RGB Brown

The Cherry MX Brown are used to excellent, the design is good.
Extra-long (6.5-foot) USB cable and a two-port USB 2.0 hub in the back panel.
Works wonderfully on my MacBook Pro. Every key works as expected.
Firmware is not flashable with Linux, and can't use it without windows.
Q software can be frustrating to use. This is powerful software but not user friendly.
