## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the cord really 66ft long?**
A: The cord is 2 meters long which is approximately 6.6 ft. 
https://www.calculateme.com/length/meters/to-feet/2

**Q: Does this computer have protrusions so you can fell where the home keys are? I can't tell if the images are renders or photos.**
A: Yes, it does have the standard home key guides.

**Q: Is this particular model compatible with Mac?**
A: I have yet to see a modern PC keyboard FULLY compatible with the Mac. Fully compatible means that keys work during startup so you can boot into safe mode, switch to a different drive, reinstall the operating system, run disk utility, reset PRAM, etc. I was burned when I bought a "fully" Mac-compatible keyboard that wasn't. Now I must keep an Apple keyboard nearby for startup tasks.

**Q: Should I buy this keyboard or a keyboard like the Corsair K70?**
A: I had a K95 RGB that bit the dust, IMO backlighting is a toy that's a bit overrated. (Something for me to fiddle with when I'm bored, but more an indication of needing to get outside instead of sitting around some more in front of a computer). Also I looked up trying to fix a water-damaged Corsair, what a nightmare.

I ended up buying this Das keyboard from my local MicroCenter, same price, and could just pick it up and take it home. They also offer a no-questions-asked warranty, which in my use-case (I love coffee and will typically drink it in the early morning while I work at the keyboard) is really important!

Lastly the Corsair isn't nearly as solid-feeling as this unit is. For a similar price, this Das 4 Professional has a great volume knob (the Corsair's is an awkward 'roller' that I never used). I never used the Corsair's programmable function keys (may be of interest to gamers but not for me). Also Corsair's software for lighting (iCue) was enormous - believe it or not, it is 456MB large! Insane - this keyboard needs no software, it is plug-and-play, immediately recognized by W10 and I'm told is fine for Linux as well.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent mechanical keyboard with no key chatter
*by J***B on October 6, 2020*

I purchased the DasKeyboard Root after struggling for over a year with a Logitech G613 wireless mechanical keyboard. I'm not a gamer, but I do spend a lot of time writing and have always loved the experience of typing on mechanical switches. For some reason, the G613 experience MASSIVE amounts of key chatter (i.e., pressing a key once yet having it register 2 or 3 times).After a year of deteriorating key chatter, I knew I needed a change. I did a lot of research and decided to purchase a DasKeyboard with blue clicky switches. I'm extremely happy! The keyboard is functioning perfectly and the keys register a crisp, satisfying "click" with every press. I haven't had a single instance of key chatter and the keyboard works perfectly out of the box with Windows 10.Unlike most mechanical keyboards, this isn't aimed toward the gamer market. It's well-designed, attractive in a conservative/business aesthetic, and does its job flawlessly. That's enough to earn 5 stars in my book!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great keyboard if you really care about keyboard quality and are wiling to pay for it.
*by S***T on May 20, 2021*

I've had a few of these (for both home and office) for several years, and love them. Some thoughts:- Typing on it: that's the most important thing, right? If you like the old IBM Model M-style keyboards (mechanical switches, clicky keys, solid indestructible feel), then you'll be happy. I've only had the versions with the Cherry MX Blue switches, and you get that clicking sound but of course they're noisy.- USB cable: good six-foot length.- USB hub: I don't really make much use of this, but it works.- Media controls: The volume knob is nice, but I really don't use the other controls.- The magnetic ruler/footbar: It is a weird design decision, but I guess it works. I don't really have any problems with it becoming detached or anything like that. The keyboard stays in place; it's fairly heavy and doesn't really slide around.- Quality: I haven't had any problems with them, which is a good thing, but that means I have no experience with their tech support.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Weird knob
*by E***E on July 29, 2025*

Mostly fine, but the volume knob sometimes doesn't know wether to increase or decrease volume. I turn it down only for it to start blasting crazy loud, so I have to stop and volume knob down again for it to work correctly
