I wouldn't be surprised if the next reply is "buy a HHKB"

As far as I know, the new non-Ultimate Das Keyboards are made by a different manufacturer in China. Since you got an Ultimate, it should be made in Taiwan and be higher quality. As long as you like they keyboard, you didn't make a mistake. I looked past them because of their glossy case - an easy way to get smudged and scratched.
Well, I was going to tell you to return Das Keyboard to Das Newegg (Neues Ei), and then get two HHKB's. But, after reading the suggestions above, I guess you could just get one HHKB. That would save you about $300.

I recently bought my first mechanical keyboard and it was a DAS Keyboard Model S Ultimate. Sadly I didn't come across this forum before I purchased it. While on this forum DAS Keyboards are considered to be low quality, I read petty good reviews on newegg. Should I just return the dam thing and look a better keyboard around the same price or what?My curiosity is that based on which factors/posts/threads you can conclude on this forum DAS Keyboards are considered to be low quality? Which model are you using and where is it made in?

If you have problem with stabilizers, you can try to work around with some silicon grease and Teflon tape.
Everything will just be fine :thumb:
Maybe different models from different OEM can have different quality but I don't think just because of one defect found on one model we should generalize all of their keyboards are bad.
ONLY when you decide that your preference for "that switch" is all consuming.. should you get the HHKB.. otherwise... it's NOT objectively a great keyboard..

This statement is sooo far from objective...
Just wondering, tp, how long did you type on topre switches?

No one fully determined that DAS has become "" LOW" quality.. it has only been determined that part of the line-up is no longer produced by the original COSTAR, OEM.
I think I should clarify somethings that I should have in my first post. So ordered the DAS Keyboard Model S Ultimate day before yesterday and still haven't received it. I just found this forum doing some research on mechanical keyboard and found that DAS keyboards have been lowering in quilty as time progresses. Since I suffer from buyer's remorse I was posting to get some sort of feedback on if I should return it when it arrives and if so what keyboard in the 100~150 range should o be looking at.

Listen dude, don't let buyers remorse ruin your first keyboard experience. People are going to recommend some ****ty small keyboard that will have a crappy layout you're not used to, and then you're stuck learning a new layout and how to type on mechanical switches. At least let the board arrive and give it a few days before posting a thread about what a terrible decision you've made. Just because some crazy people think they're "degrading" in quality doesn't mean anything, they're still just a costar-stabilized plate-mount MX keyboard, no matter if you pay $50 or $200, all the boards will feel and perform the same with the same switches.

I went with Das Ultimate with Cherry MX Browns for my first keyboard also. I'm so glad I chose this keyboard. To me it looks so much nicer and sleeker than the rest of the keyboards offered.

Did you get the old one or the new one?
