das keyboard.
I've often waxed poetic about the incomparable IBM Model M, but here's the one keyboard on the market that may be even more hardcore geek than the Great Clicky One. It's called "Das Keyboard". It's pitch-black, and all the keys are blank. That's right...no key labels.
This is the keyboard for serious touch-typists...or for arrogant supergeeks who enjoy looking down their noses at the office drones who still need a label on the key in order to know which one to peck. The main market for Das Keyboard are snobby turtleneck-and-goatee-wearing latte slurpers who feel the need for a physical representation of their status on the top of the geek food chain.
The only way to make that thing more elitist would be to come out with a Macintosh version.
And yes, I do want one.
I will gladly come over there and use 800 grit sandpaper on the faces of the keys of your existing keyboard. For free, an $80 discount!
