Metadot Das Keyboard Professional

The Das Keyboard Professional is a USB driven mechanical keyboard for those interested in an older IBM Model M style keyboard - that is to say: loud, with large travel (the depth of each key) and a basic minimalist layout. Much like the original Das Keyboard Ultimate, the Professional differs only by the fact that the keys are labeled. Featuring German-engineered gold plated mechanical key switches, the ability to have up to 12 keys pressed at once, a long cable and an internal USB hub with 2 ports, the Das Keyboard Professional is designed for no-nonsense professional touch typists, who desire a quality keyboard for work or play.
