Wow. I am delighted that they are finally admitting this problem happens. I almost can't believe that blog post is real. It might be a very intricate troll for the geekhack forums.
I wonder what changed their mind? I RMA'd two DAS-3s back to metadot, back in July 2008 with the key-transposition. And basically I was told that I couldn't correctly perceive the order in which my fingers hit keys. This disparaging opinion about the sanity of Das-3 complainers came up a few times at geekhack as well.
I had thought that perhaps the only way to defend our sanity was to build a keyboard-testing apparatus -- I won't describe it for you, but it was going to be a real contraption -- and this apparatus would demonstrate (or fail to demonstrate) the key-transposition bug. But I knew that if I made this keyboard-testing machine, then I would be demonstrating that I was *not* sane. I would be proving to the world that I am a freakish keyboard eccentric, railing against hardware bugs that only I can see, muttering and soldering in my basement. Even if the bugs are real, I am still crazy.
And so, I don't really feel like I've won. I have this DAS-2, which is really unsexy. But a few weeks ago I got one of Majestouch's NKRO Brown-Cherry 104s, and that thing has changed my life. I am getting used to the Browns, the other guys in the office think the lack of resistance is crazy unusable -- they're Blue guys.
But on those Brown cherries I am having a great day, every day. That keyboard is a dream. I am making typos like crazy, but every single one of them is mine.
Suck it, DAS.
