It says cherry MX switches in the titel here but the Das 4 does not come with cherry switches!
According to Jared at Das he says, "You have the choice to choose between blue or brown swtiches, yes. However, this keyboard does not use Cherry switches. It uses Greetech switches."
And from reading about These new switches Over at Geekhack those switches are crap compared to the original cherry switches Das used in the S Model! People at Geekhack reccommned to avoid the new Das Model 4.
—How come it says that the Model 4 now comes with Cherry switches here on Massdrop?
I think in all honesty that If it is not cherry mx is should clearly state that!
I own the Das Keyboard 4 Ultimate w/ Browns and I am very pleased. Every once in a while I hit the wrong key when putting in a password, but it's totally worth it ;)
I hope people are reading that the Ultimate has no printed keys. Pretty sure that is the only difference, hope others just don't see the word "ultimate" and think it's better.
Why the Das? It's damn expensive and not a bit better than K70, except for the 3.0 port, but who cares about that?
On the other hand, the K70 is too aluminum-surfaced, has contoured keycaps, and most after all, a PER-KEY programmable backlight. All of it for 2/3 the price. How does Das 4 even compare to that?
To be fair, I like the look and build quality of the das 4(Not ultimate, dunno why people voted for that) and its a typing keyboard that feels phenomenal.
