- The Das Keyboard 4 Professional for Mac is a great alternative to Apple's own keyboards.
- The Das Keyboard is much more comfortable to type on.
- It's also designed to be used with Macs and comes with Mac-specific keys, whereas most non-Apple keyboards are designed for the Windows operating system.
- It's a bit pricey, but it could be a worthwhile investment for those whose jobs or hobbies involve a lot of typing.
One look at the keyboard above, and you're probably thinking I'd be crazy to tell you that this is the perfect keyboard for Mac users.
It's completely contrary to Apple's recent keyboard designs, which are sleek, thin, and barely have any key "travel" - the distance that a key travels when you press it. Indeed, this keyboard doesn't match Apple's clean, modern aesthetic at all, and that's probably one of the reasons why Apple doesn't sell it on its website or stores.
But if Apple's keyboards - whether on its laptops or desktops - don't have all the keys you need, or you find them uncomfortable to type on, I'd recommend you check out the $170 Das Keyboard 4 Professional for Mac, which I'll simply be calling the "Das" from now on.
Check out why the Das is the perfect keyboard for Mac users who don't like Apple's recent keyboard designs:
