Highly regarded computer keyboard manufacturer Das Keyboard is releasing its latest offering, the Das Keybaord 4. The Das Keyboard has been a favorite among typists due to its minimalist design, key feedback and sturdy structure. However, previous editions of the Das Keyboard lacked the media keys used by rivals such as Logitech and Microsoft.
The Das Keyboard 4 contains the strong fundamental keyboard features of previous editions, but has a number of upgrades, the most noticeable of which is a giant volume knob on the upper right corner. The volume knob is complemented by various dedicated media controls.
For added comfort, the Das Keyboard 4 comes with a magnetic foot-bar that can be used to incline the keyboard at a perfect 4-degree angle.
According to Daniel Guermeur, creator of the Das Keyboard, the Das Keyboard 4 is “an order-of-magnitude improvement over past generation Das Keyboards.”
