Das Keyboard version where therey
Please excuse my incomplete thoughts and lack of follow through on my sentence. Just wanted to key this out there. Don't really care how well put together this is.
I purchased this mechanical keyboard because it is good. I have the version where on the left hand side there is Control, Function, Windows, and Alt keys. This is the version I bought and the version I personally like. I use this this keyboard mainly with macOS and I remap the Alt key to be Command and the Windows key to be Alt. Where the Alt key sits on the keyboard is similarly positioned as the Command key on the Macbook keyboard so it makes the feel very natural and pleasant to me. Plus at work i use a keyboard where the Alt key is right underneath the "x" key and it makes going between work and home computers very natural.
The profile is a bit bulky especially where the two usb ports are.
I'm not fond of the new versions where the left hand side only has the Control, Windows, and Alt keys (at least that's what it looks like to me on the website because they have the pictures of the old and new versions of the keyboard). I'm not sure of the key layouts but if it's the new layout, I'm not happy that they replaced the Windows key with the Function key on the right hand side. When I work on Windows I use the Control, Windows, and arrow keys to move between spaces and the fact that they took it out is quite a shame. I haven't tried the new ones though so I don't know if the Function key doubles up as a Function key and Windows key.
If you go with this keyboard I don't know if aftermarket replacement keys will work with this. I bought a used one and the keys have gotten this shiny to it because of the previous owner and my oily fingers. If you get the version I got, you're kind of stuck with the original keys unless you find a good alternative. If you do let me know.
I particularly like the this version (ctrl, fn, win, alt key on left hand side and alt, win, menu, ctrl on right hand side). If DAS makes them again I'll consider buying a new one.
