Howdy, barnacules! Just wanted to point out that with our newest Professional Model S keyboards (Quiet Key Design included), the media keys are fully functional over either connection -- USB or PS2. So now you can have your media keys and your NKRO, too! Thanks for the great review.
I just received my 4th dasKeyboard with the new Cherry MX Red switches to make it virtually silent. I now own every dasKeyboard with Brown, Blue and now Red switches and I love them all. The red switches make the keyboard the most quiet keyboard dasKeyboard has ever made and it's great for environments where noise is an issue while typing. I love my super loud blue switches when I'm typing at work because I feel that it motivates me however at home when I'm recording game play footage I wanted a keyboard that produces less noise but still felt completely solid and dasKeyboard delivers on that with this new offering.
The keyboard connects via PS2 or USB but you need to use USB if you want the function keys to work. The USB hub in the keyboard plugs in with a separate cable so you can use PS2 for the keyboard and still retain the USB hub functionality built into the keyboard which is really nice. The keyboard is well built and very heavy and solid. It reminds me of the old IBM model M keyboards that were built like a brick shit house.
