That's a pretty big claim but one that the folks at Das Keyboard promote openly on their website. While it certainly looks the part, underneath its skin the Das keyboard features German-engineered gold-plated mechanical key switches - I had to read that twice too - providing both audio and tactile feedback.

The Das Keyboard also features blue LEDs and two USB 2.0 ports and can record an amazing 12 key presses at the one time! And just in case that wasn't cool enough, the Das Keyboard comes in an "ultimate" version featuring completely blank keys.

We'll try to secure a Das Keyboard in the next few weeks to test how good this keyboard really is, but for the moment we are happy to suggest the Das Keyboard is certainly one of the coolest typing implements on the planet!

Both the Das Keyboard Professional and Das Keyboard Ultimate are available directly from Das Keyboard for $129US.
