I think the special feature about the Das keyboard is probably the media controls, so finding a replacement/similar build should be easy :)
Ah, that’s just it: mine doesn’t have those! Back when I got this, just having mechanical keyswitches was the special feature. I’ve watched in absolute awe as the scene has exploded, but I’m very much behind on what the state of the art is. The biggest tech-y enhancement this one has over the switches is a two-port USB hub that I plug my mouse, and occasionally a thumb drive or other USB controller into.
I’ll look into those switch recommendations but honestly the pre-built boards are going to end up being where I go. Given how long I’ve used the Das, do you know if there’s a standout for solid build quality in the sub-200 range? That’s where the Das would be anyway
I’ll give them all a look. Thank you!
