The information you need - on your keyboard

The Das Keyboard 4Q is the smart RGB Cherry MX version of the iconic industry-standard Das Keyboard 4 Professional. It is the ultimate productivity tool that keeps programmers focused on writing software and operating at the highest level of concentration. No more unwanted interruptions. Instead of relying on snooze-able, momentary alerts from different devices, the Das Keyboard 4Q ambiently tracks the most important information directly on its RGB keys. Users can configure it for their needs. For example, if a website is down or you have been assigned a new task, or if the software build fails, the Das Keyboard 4Q will change color and let you know.

Real Reviews from real people

Our customers love Das Keyboard. But don't take our word for it...

You’ll probably never enjoy typing more than you will on this keyboard.

On the Das Keyboard 4 Professional MX Brown

It's almost like typing on a cloud compared to Apple's Magic Keyboard.

On the Das Keyboard 4 Professional for Mac

The tactile responsiveness when I push a key is so satisfying. It’s silly but it also makes me feel productive, each keystroke an audio reminder that I’m one step closer to my goal.

besides the fact that the only option at time of purchase was for cherry mx brown switches, i love this board. the programmability and customization is amazing. lets not forget the build quality as well! sturdy, keycaps are thick and meaty, and a simple foam mod is definitely helpful.

build quality:10/10
acoustics: 6/10
software: 8.5/10
aesthetics: 7/10

Hope this helped!

Was an amazing purchase, will be buying more for my team.

This was our first mechanical keyboard. I got it for my wife for her work-from-home PC. She loves it!

My wife loves it!

This is my first DAS keyboard, and first mechanical keyboard, after using a Logitech for ~20 years. I'm very happy with the keyboard, excellent feel and great typing experience.

Great keyboard

This is the second DasKeyboard I've purchased. My first I've used for over five years.

It needs a mute button. Other than that, I love it.

Quality keyboard

It looks cool. The tactile feel is exactly what you want in a mechanical keyboard. My biggest gripe with this keyboard is that the shifted symbols are printed BELOW the unshifted symbols on the keycaps. For example, instead of the asterisk (*) being printed above the 8, it is printed below it. For symbols you don't use frequently, or if you are viewing the keyboard when typing, these visual cues are confusing contrary to what traditional keycaps would show. I'm guessing this is because of the way the LEDs are positioned under the keycap, requiring that the primary symbol be on top.
