Das Keyboard, often regarded as a hidden gem in the scene, is a brand of the Metadot Corporation and produces high-quality, innovative mechanical keyboards under the German-English name combination. The company, based in Austin, Texas, has been creating groundbreaking technology optimized for daily use in the input device segment since 2005 and consistently receives praise from industry experts.

The Das Keyboard 4 enhances the very successful S model series (Das Keyboard 3) with meaningful features. This mechanical keyboard has been upgraded in both appearance and functionality, offering a particularly well-crafted and flexible solution for both gamers and office users. Its distinctive design, featuring a widened chassis in the numpad area, immediately signals its brand identity. New additions include multimedia keys, an aluminum finish on the top shell, and a modern USB 3.0 hub.

The media keys are thoughtfully designed in both form and function, utilizing microswitches with a good tactile feel and minimal travel distance. The USB hub connections on the Das Keyboard 4 are now located at the back instead of the sides, making cable management easier. The USB 3.0 connection provides connected devices with high bandwidth and delivers up to 900 mA of power. The premium feel and slight texture of the volume knob allow for direct and precise control of the volume function.
