These people ARE scam artists.... Unit F3, 3-29 Birnie Ave (closest entry is off Bachell Ave), Lidcombe NSW 2141 Bought one of the Das Keyboards from them for about $170 (including freight etc) - but these are so badly designed that the key switches, are more or less wide open to filling up with dust and jamming. Within a month or so's use (and several months sat aside during PC repairs) this is what started happening. All the LOW keys are the ones that are sticking - some of them are "stuck on" and the other low ones are just not coming back up to the proper height..   You can't use or type with this keyboard, it's a material defect in the design - it's bad workmanship.

The "DAS KEYBOARD" (or The "The Keyboard") is an interesting piece of both "allegedly" good quality switches, piss poor design, misleading advertising (outright bullshit) and useless customer support. The pro-model. The ultimate model. They do use the apparently remarkable "Cherry" (brand) key switches, who's main claim to fame is that although gold plating can be made remarkably thin and the contact area is remarkably small, the switch contacts are gold plated - which makes them corrosion and arc resistant, and they are rated to 50 million cycles - or so they claim - you know, "press any key" + "unpress" = one cycle. This is their main claim to fame - the longevity of the key switches. "Yes the Das Keyboard (by implication) will last as long as the switches it is composed of - that's 50 million presses of each of the key switches..." But is that the actual contacts are claimed to be rated for 50M cycles? Or
