Quite why you would want to do so is irrelevant, since this sounds cool and allows you to save a USB slot.
In plain English, that means you can press all of the keys at once and have them input. The PS/2 slot really ought to be used with the actual keyboard, since it supports n-key rollover.

On the plus side you can connect one of the USB slots to a PS/2 port thanks to an included PS/2 adapter, so you could still gain a USB slot in theory.
The USB hub replaces the two USB slots you’ll have to use otherwise one slot is needed in order to power the keyboard, and another slot is needed in order to power the slots. Why it does not sit in a stack formation I am not sure, since the thickness of the keyboard increases at the top. While USB 2.0 is not a new technology, and 3.0 is appearing it is still worth mentioning. An additional bonus to the USB hub is that the ports are USB 2.0, as opposed to 1.1. I had expected them to be in a stack formation, though this is not the case. The keyboard boasts two more USB slots on the right side, arranged in a side-by-side formation. As a full-size keyboard it does not sound as if it does anything radically different beyond its mechanical engineering, though it does have some very interesting touches up its sleeve. The Das Keyboard is certainly created a cut above the majority of models on the market today. Sure, a keyboard is a tool for inputting text at the end of the day, but not all keyboards are created equally. I have never seen a keyboard that looks more attractive than this. The first thought I had when I unboxed the Das Keyboard was simply ‘Wow’. While not grammatically correct, I will refer to the keyboard throughout as ‘the Das Keyboard’ for the purposes of this review. The keyboard uses German-made keyswitches, giving rise to its name ( Das is the neuter form of ‘the’ in German), effectively giving this keyboard the name of ‘The Keyboard’. While completely separate to the review, I have to admit the name alone appeals to me. Originally, the Das Keyboard was available only as a blank model, but changes in the market have since meant that this is not the only model offered.

For this review, we’re taking a look at the Professional model, though the experience should extend across all models.

As the name suggests it is very much a professional-grade choice, with four main models being offered: the Professional (full-volume with marked keys), the Silent (reduced-volume with marked keys), the Ultimate (either volume, completely blank keys), and the Mac (exclusively for Apple’s Macs, and a new offering). This review will be of the Das Keyboard Professional S, kindly donated to Neowin by for review purposes.Īt $129.99 on its official website, the Das Keyboard is expensive, but comes across almost as a celebration of mechanical keyboards in general. Since then, mechanical keyboards have grown into something of a niche for their typewriter-esque sounds. It garnered something of a reputation for this noise it produced, but the Model M (and other mechanical keyboards) fell by the wayside as cheaper capacitive models became more common. The Model M was a mechanical keyboard, providing a highly audible feedback as a result of this. Computer users in the 1990s may remember the IBM Model M keyboard for varying reasons.
