really nice looking keyboard, interested to see the price tag on it since it has alu case.
And is there a new generation Filco coming?

Footbar = Ruler :))
2cm height before the footbar doesn't seem too improbable, does it?

It doesn't seem possible. If it is, those switches must be mounted to the bottom of the case and/or has some sort of Cherry profile keycap.
For reference the G80-38XX is 1.1", Topre TypeHeaven/WASD V2 1.2". These are the lowest profile Cherry/Topre boards you can get now.
Looks nice.
So expensive though
Hmm should I get this or wait for the corsair mx rgb... Sigh...
buy it for me hyde
Das was my first mechanical. Always liked their look (had an Ultimate, and didn't mind gloss), but this is super nice all the way around. If they ever make a TKL, I'm sure some other people might be on board.
The backplate says made in China.
Now unless the ultimate version is still made in taiwan, I guess that's it for Costar Das Keyboards

Nice catch!

Hahaha! I'm card carrying member.
I emailed Das Keyboard and they told me the ultimate version will still be made in Taiwan. Now, as you could expect, they assured me that the quality of the chinese manufacturers is on par.
I don't know... on the one hand I want printed keycaps, but I don't want to end up in the pissed off customer 1-star review list on Amazon.
Sorta like Ockham's Razer, don't randomly make something up unless you need it.

I see what you did there...
i don't think anyone who actually wants the tilt is actually going to use it as a ruler. it's for people who don't want the tilt
Having a standard 104 layout is typical, what's wrong with typical?

I de-metaphysicized ockhams razor. Quite awesomei don't think anyone who actually wants the tilt is actually going to use it as a ruler. it's for people who don't want the tilt
Exactly. So let's say you want it flat, you don't want the tilt. Would you prefer the complete randomness of having an extra ruler around, or would you prefer a higher quality cable sleeve?
"We got tired of those itty bitty plastic keyboard feet. They are fragile and typical." - Das Keyboard
Having a standard 104 layout is typical, what's wrong with typical? Might as well ditch scroll lock and pauze, as they are both typical and nobody uses them (correct me if I'm wrong). Put a pencil sharpener in their place.
As for fragile, you don't have to make them plastic. Make metal ones with rubber coating. I'd seriously pay 10 extra for metal feet that "click" into place, and don't slide around my desk.

I use pause/break all the time. Scroll Lock is about the only key I wouldn't miss.
By the way, what applications still use pause?
This is Geekhack, where invisible gold springs in your switches make you type faster. Just keep that in mind. The concept of fun makes a lot of things "worth it".
By the way, what applications still use pause?
Win+Pause : System Properties
Control+Pause : Interrupt Visual Studio Build
However be warned you might get a bit annoyed watching this video. This guy handles a $169 keyboard as if it was $5. It's like come on you spend good money on it can't you be a bit more gentle and pretend you cherish it?
Also if you're gonna do a review maybe a little bit of research before hand would be nice. For one he didn't know why Das gives the option to enable/disable NKRO. He also doesn't know the new logo on the window key are actually Das' new logo.
And as he was opening the package he was ripping through that foam wrap, you know there's opening at the top you can just take it out without ripping it?
Okay maybe I'm too harsh on him. My OCD is coming through. >_____>
Though if I wasn't so picky maybe I wouldn't be on geekhack. :p

Why does Das do that? Forgive my ignorance, don't usually pay attention to this stuff.

^ Maybe they'll come out with the "Quiet" version later.
Just gotta wait a bit also depending on your preference you might have to leave/take out the o-rings.
I think brown was the "silent" version before and red is the "quiet" version.
Now I believe blue is "clicky", brown is "soft tactile" and red is "quiet".
Yeah it's a bit confusing I don't know why they can't just say MX Brown and MX Red.
i really dislike the non mechanical function keys.

Brown is the quiet version, isn't it?
In contradistinction to blues, being the "noisy" version.

Yep, the browns are still pretty loud but a little bit softer cause of the lack of tactile. If you type really softly on the browns you can quiet them down a bit, the blues are pretty much loud no matter what you do.
