UK Das Keyboard 4 Professional for Mac Audible Click - DASK4MACCLI-UK

Das Keyboard 4 Professional for Mac mechanical keyboard is specifically designed for Mac compatibility. It's made of the highest-quality materials and has a robust construction you can feel. All of our keyboards are designed with high-performance, gold-plated mechanical key switches lasting up to 50 million keystrokes. Give your Mac the keyboard it deserves.

Cherry MX blue switch - Clicky
The Cherry MX blue switches have a "clicky" tactile bump when the activation point is hit. This feedback helps to increase typing speed by reducing effort needed to push the keys all the way down. The Cherry MX blue switch is the most "clicky" of the Das Keyboard line.

Oversized Volume Knob & Dedicated Media Controls
With its large volume knob, Das Keyboard 4 for Mac allows users to quickly adjust volume while on a Skype call, in a Google hangout, or streaming online music. The Das Keyboard 4 for Mac also provides quick access to dedicated media controls such as mute, play, pause, next and previous track.

Energy-Saving Instant Sleep Button
Be kind to the earth by putting your computer to sleep with the quick-access instant sleep button. Not only will you save energy, but by putting your computer to sleep, you save time and can be up and running much faster than if you shut down and restart.

USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Hub
Need to transfer videos to your workstation but don't have time to wait all day for file transfers to complete? Don't worry. Das Keyboard 4 for Mac has a blazing fast two-port USB 3.0 hub to transfer music, high resolution pictures and large videos at up to 5Gb per second. That's 10 times faster than USB 2.0. It is backwards compatible with all USB 2.0/1.1 devices and hosts so previous peripheral investments are protected.

N-Key Rollover
Programmers and fast typists will love to hear that Das Keyboard 4 for Mac supports full n-key rollover (NKRO) over USB. No need to use a PS/2 adapter anymore. Just press shift + mute to toggle NKRO. Full n-key rollover works with Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.

Mac OS Specific Key Functions
In addition to standard Command and Alt/Option keys, Das Keyboard 4 Professional for Mac offers quick, convenient access to a number of other Mac specific key functions. The Das Keyboard 4 Professional for Mac makes it easy to toggle between screens, view your desktop along with other applications that you have open, and access your brightness controls all at the push of a button.

UV Hard Coat-Protected Key Caps
The Das Keyboard 4 Professional for Mac has UV hard coat-protected key caps to prevent fading. The UV hard coating, silk screened legends and new printing process allows for extra durable inscriptions. Das Keyboard's key cap font has been designed to provide ease of reading. Das Keyboard's font looks modern while keeping some of its lines from older, well established fonts. The overall result is sleek and easily readable while not drawing unnecessary attention.

Footbar = Ruler
We got tired of those itty bitty plastic keyboard feet. They are fragile and typical. The magnetically attached Das Keyboard footbar raises the keyboard to an optimal 4-degrees. It looks sharp and can be used as a precise ruler when not in use as a footbar. 16-Inch red ruler is scaled on both sides. A ruler? Why not...

Extra Long Cable
Das Keyboard 4 Professional for Mac sports a 2-meter (6.5ft) cable that goes through desk grommets to keep your workspace neat and tidy. Now equipped with only one USB cable to power the keyboard and USB hub at the same time.

Every Detail Matters
Featuring a stunning look, Das Keyboard 4 Professional for Mac has been designed with a slick anodized aluminium top panel, a resonance-free bottom enclosure, a magnetically attached footbar, and a laser-engraved aluminium bottom label… all which make the design feel more bad ass and the typing feel more responsive.

There is no detail too tiny for us.

Das Keyboard is an utter joy to use. It is solidly built and reassuringly heavy, and more importantly, typing is a pleasure. The action is perfectly weighted for me, and the audible click makes an enjoyable soundtrack to work (although it might not be so welcome in a shared office). The service from Keyboard Co was exemplary - ultra-fast delivery, well-packaged and secure. Even when I called up after placing the order to amend the delivery address, I never had the feeling that it was too much trouble to help. As an IT consultant, I will be recommending the keyboard and the company to clients from now on.

Wonderful keyboard. Well-built and responsive. Wish I had done years ago, before Apple insisted on the minimalist approach. Reminds me of the Apple Extended Keyboard II from the 90s. Feels like I am in control again.
Thanks.

A very good keyboard but it should be better at this price.

The feel of this keyboard is perfect for me, the Cherry MX Blue switches give just the right amount of audible and tactile feedback. I am old enough to remember the computers and keyboards of the early 1980s and having a membrane keyboard cannot satisfy after that experience, so the DAS Keyboard 4 Professional passes the most important test.

The extra media control keys work well with a variety of Macs, from a current model to an ancient (made in 2004) PowerMac G5 still hanging around because it has PhotoShop CS3 on it. Nice. The numeric keypad lacks the proper Mac numeric keypad layout (with the = on it) but this is sadly becoming normal for all third party keyboards for the Mac. I don't like this trend but I can live with it.

The build is solid and heavy so it doesn't wander about on the desk and overall I like the looks.

If you don't like your keyboard flat there is a supplied foot you can attach to the underside with magnets. This is also a ruler, though not a particularly useful one even if you don't need it to prop up your keyboard. It's a gimmick, built in feet would do the job better and wouldn't easily become separated from the keyboard. The keyboard is too flat for me even with the foot fitted, so I prop it up further with a piece of wood. I will make something more elegant with magnets in it at some stage to completely replace the supplied foot. The lack of slope even with the foot fitted is a definite minus point. If I weren't good at making things out of wood and plastic I would be sending the keyboard back as using it so near to flat would be a pain.

It has printed key-caps. I know they are varnished and better than most printed keys, I don't care; at this price they should be two-shot moulded. Since the keyboard has Cherry MX blue switches when legends start to wear off I can easily replace the key-caps, so it's an irritation rather than a deal breaker. Still, I've seen keyboards costing a third of this price with two-shot moulded keys, so DAS really should be looking at this.

Overall I like this keyboard a lot, in spite of the irritating flaws. The feel and looks are great positives, the build quality seems superb and it works with every Mac I could find with USB ports on it. With my last two keyboards I kept feeling that they were slowing me down and there is no hint of that with this one.

Positives: Tactile feedback, audible feedback, looks, build quality, Cherry MX blue switches, works with almost any Mac with USB ports on, volume control, extra media keys.

Negatives: Lack of slope even with the supplied foot attached, printed key-caps, numeric keypad doesn't have proper Mac layout.

This is just about the perfect keyboard and as far as I know Das Keyboard make the only Mac specific mechanical keyboards. Here are my comments after using it for a few days:

Mechanical keyboards are more pleasant to type with.
It is exceptionally well built, easy to use, and has a consistent feel across all keys.
The weight means it stays firmly on the desk.
It has a separate number pad which makes typing numbers much easier.
It is wired which I think is better than Bluetooth (as one computer expert I read said 'bluetooth keyboards and mice are a solution to a problem that doesn't exist).
The two USB inputs are really useful, especially as the newer Mac computers no longer have several USB ports.

There is only one thing I would change, the media controls appear to work with iTunes only. These are not programmable (as far as I can tell) to work with other software. I always use other audio software and never iTunes. The play and fast forward buttons work with Youtube but for some reason I couldn't get the backwards button to work. They are also very low and close to the number keypad, therefore not that comfortable to use. However as the playback controls are far from important its not really a problem.

The service from the Keyboard Company was excellent, my questions were answered knowledgeably, and the delivery was in two days as promised.

Im always searching for the perfect keyboard, one which will transform my writing life, and thanks to the excellent Keyboard company I have finally found it. I was procrastinating, mindlessly cruising their Das selection of keyboards on their site when I spotted the UK Das Keyboard 4 Professional for Mac Audible Click DASK4MACCLI-UK. Unfortunately, it was Out of Stock, and it remained so for what seemed like an eternity. After compulsively checking their website to see if it was back, I called the company and was immediately put through to Bruce Whiting, the companys Managing Director. He couldnt have been more helpful. In fact, he went all out to chase the keyboard for me, and kept me regularly informed of its progress. And as soon as the keyboard was in stock, I immediately received an email alerting me. I was so impressed with Bruce Whitings patience and Support, and also with the rest of the companys professional Customer Service I know who to go to when I buy my next keyboard.

I've just taken delivery of a new Das Keyboard Professional for Mac with blue switches. It replaces the exact same model, but with brown switches. I decided to replace the brown-switch keyboard as I wanted more feedback when typing. The main difference between these two switch types discussed on the internet is the sound: blue = clicky, brown = soft tactile. Some reviews even say the blue switches will be noisy in the workplace and could disturb co-workers; jeepers, how sensitive to noise must these people be?! The blue switches do sound pleasingly different to the browns, and the click is very satisfying. This isn't the end of the story, however: to me there's also a distinct difference in the springiness of the keys: the blue switches just seem more responsive and positive than the browns. Any Das Keyboard will be great, but if you do a lot of typing, I'd certainly recommend the blues. As ever, service from The Keyboard Company, and responses by Bruce to email enquires, were fantastic.

David Jones 21/05/2020

If you actually want to type content rather than admire your smart, minimalist desk accessories, then this is perfect. This is a return to the quality of the early IBM keyboards that we took for granted at the time.

Wired too, just like the good old days. Bluetooth has its place, but as a reliable data entry tool for desk use, I don't think a keyboard like this can be beaten. Highly recommended.

As for the Keyboard Company, everything just worked. I would much rather deal with a specialist company that knows their product.

Ben Chapman 08/04/2020

A fantastic keyboard. Brilliant feeling keys, as I'd expect from the Cherry MX Blue keyswitches. The build is fantastically solid and the media controls make it perfect for when you're working away and don't want to go changing windows to pause the podcast you're listening to.

The service was also fantastic, would thoroughly recommend buying from The Keyboard Company.
