Das Keyboard likes to build simple, sleek keyboards that are the “perfect blend between technology and art.” The company’s new 4C mechanical keyboard follows exactly that philosophy, but it brings a tenkeyless model to the company’s arsenal.
A tenkeyless keyboard is one that doesn’t have a numpad, for those who don’t use the numpads and wish for a more compact typing utensil.
Beyond being tenkeyless, the keyboard has a full n-key rollover electric design, gold-plated mechanical cherry switches, and media keys that are accessible as secondary functions on the F-keys. The Escape key also acts as a sleep button when you press FN, and there is also a disable-windows key function.
The Das Keyboard 4C also has a 2-port USB 2.0 hub built in, along with a ruler. The ruler acts as a riser on the back of the keyboard. I not sure why it is a ruller but it is!
he keyboard comes in a Professional SKU and an Ultimate SKU, with the Ultimate being for the adventurous users who want a completely blank design – the keycaps do not have any lettering on them, and the Das Keyboard branding is blacked out, too.
Prices start at $139.
