DAS Model S 24% off coupon + Free Ship
« on: Wed, 18 August 2010, 17:01:19 »
Found this on one of the "deal" boards.
At this price the Cherry Brown version is a steal at $103.  The item I ordered is called the Professional Model S Silent and for some reason costs more than the Cherry Blue (regular) version.

Yeah, I didn't want to cheat since I'm not a student.

Kid's school ID is not cheating.
Lucky you said that, I'll try that next time I have to buy expensive software.

Ahh it arrived in today.
I have no complaints.  Silky smooth keys with an inital rubber-dome-like bump and a small, tactile bump right before the key actuates.  It's just like my ALPS keyboards but not rattly.  This is a good keyboard.  I especially like the quiet Cherry Browns without the pretentious high-pitched click that I hated in the 1980s.  They're just like non-clicky ALPS but without the rattle.
The DAS Professional S firmware is excellent.  No transposition errors like the ABS M1 so I can type faster now.

I have a theory: the price may be down for all buyers because the keyboard does not meet current Windows logo requirements due to the non-domed Windows key.  That matters to some resellers and groups (not the domed keys, silly, but the Windows logo).

What do you mean by tactical feedback? The loud clicking sound? o_o

I may end up getting one of these...

I dunno, DSI was blowing out ASK-6600 models which also do not have the domed key.
I bet keyboard makers find the domed key requirement really annoying for Windows 7 Logo Certification requirements.  Feh.
