Despite its minimal set of features, the Model S Professional is a truly satisfying experience for the typing connoisseur. Each key cap is perfectly concave to fit a variety of fingers, and just resting your hands on the keys feels like the cozy embrace of a plush La-Z-Boy.

If you don’t mind having something on your desk that looks this astonishingly different from everything that surrounds it, you’ll have a hard time finding a better typing keyboard than this one.

The Model S Professional For Mac represents a good Mac-specific start for Das Keyboard. It provides a solid and reassuringly physical mechanical-keyboard experience, and its keyswitch technology and physical design differentiate it from the popular Matias offerings.

This keyboard looks good, feels good, has a neat feature or two, and doesn't cost too much.

We enjoyed our time with the Das Keyboard Model S Professional—for sure, we’ll be sorry to see it go. But our office mates won’t. To mollify colleagues or spouses, Das does offer a half-serious solution: earplugs. Or you can opt for the Das Keyboard Model S Professional Silent.
