CONCLUSION
Been using the Professional Model S mechanical keyboard continuously for almost 7 days now and it really is nothing like we've ever used. As expected since mechanical keyboards have been hitting the market for the past 5 years or so it comes really close to some other mechanical keyboards we've used in the past by manufacturers like SteelSeries and TteSports but it's quite honestly better when it comes to typing mainly because it almost feels you're using a typewriter with easier to push keys. Sure the distinct click sound may not appeal to every user out there especially people who cherish silence but it does help people to type faster (blind system) and when it comes to professionals and enthusiasts alike it doesn't really get any better than the cherry MX blue gold contact switches used in the Professional Model S. On top of all that add the full n-key rollover feature (however only up to 6 keys can be pressed or held down at the same time with USB - again something we rarely ever see) and like i said things can't get much better than this.
Naturally mechanical keyboards cost many times more than most normal membranes ones since they more durable in every aspect, however with a current price tag of USD129 inside the USA (Das Keyboard page/Amazon) and at around 140Euros inside the EU (Kustompcs.co.uk) the Professional Model S by Das Keyboard is unfortunately not aimed towards everyone out there. However let's not forget that most of the times you get what you pay for and Das Keyboard has indeed designed and manufactured one of the best mechanical keyboards out there aimed towards professionals and enthusiasts you care not about all the bells and whistles offered by other similar solutions. So if you want an extremely durable mechanical keyboard that will last for a lifetime and will also make it easier and faster for you to type then look no further since Das Keyboard has you covered with their Professional Model S our golden award winner.
