Title: For the DAS lovers
Post by: berserkfan on Wed, 14 January 2015, 06:21:54

OK here's something that looks pretty good value.

I make no warranty of course, but given that there are already 4 watchers (not me) at this point you might want to do that BIN before some dumb troll bidder puts in his two cent bid.

I do believe this is the second generation.  I have the third but that has the two pronged USB cable with one side for the two port USB hub.

I do believe you're right Melvang, the giveaway for me is the lack of media keys on the function row.

I think the media keys are version 3.5.  My Das is costar built but no media keys.

First DAS was a rubber dome. Second DAS was a Cherry G80-3000.
Second type designed by Metadot themselves, maybe?

Das 1 was a keytronic, so not just any RD. Das II was cherry ofcourse. They are talking about the two revesions of the DAS III, the first by costar and the second... ione maybe? Then the media, then das IV
