Title: Das Keyboard Professional S
Post by: Ki Bored on Wed, 06 July 2011, 14:50:13

Das Keyboard Professional S (Cherry Blue switches). Used less than 6 weeks. Includes two USB 2 connectors. This is one of several I bought to test out. I ended up not liking the slightly higher reset before actuating on the downstroke again. But I did almost decide to keep it. Excellent condition.

$85. + shipping. Canada (where I live) or US.

How are the Cherry blues as compared to the browns? Sorry for my question, I only dealt with springs 'till now.

It might have just been a strange flash effect in the picture, but it looks like there is some sort of crack or some sort of residue on the lower left hand side of the keyboard.

Is it actually like this or is it just the picture?

Thanks! I can't believe I just now found this site...

How much do you think shipping to Oregon would be...?

Probably not worth the cost, especially if you are a student and can get Das's discount.

Right. I forget they give student discounts.

Though it is less then what it used to be...

I haven't tried the browns so I wouldn't know. But I really liked the blues. As I mentioned, I almost decided to keep the Das, but went with a Unicomp SpaceSaver and a Keytronic. There's nothing like the feel of a buckling spring. I switch off between the Unicomp and the Keytronic because the Unicomp can get loud after a while.

I see what you mean, but I'm guessing that's just the flash.  Here is another photo taken with a different setting.

From Canada to Oregon it would be around $30 ground shipping.

Interested in swapping it for a BlackWidow and a StarCraft 2 account? :)

Thanks for answering. I did some research and it turns out I need the browns.
