Das Keyboard Model S vs QPAD MK-80

With the Cherry MX Browns the Model S Professional is very silent and suitable for an office environment. Key presses rarely "bottom out" and it comes with o-rings to prevent noise from being generated when you do.

This keyboard's branding is polished and attractive.

This keyboard has convenient key functions for media control.

Great for staying put and not sliding around the desk under energetic typing.

Instead of having to deal with Windows or Mac branded modifier keys, you can configure the Model S to come with keycaps designed for Linux.

All Das Keyboard models come standard with N key roll over. This means that the keyboard can handle all simultaneous inputs, making it great for gaming or for really really fast typists.

If you get this keyboard directly from Das and, within 30 days, decide you don't want it, you can return it for a refund.

Costar stabilizers significantly reduce friction in key motion.

Two powered USB inputs are available on the Model S, making plugging in a wired mouse or other devices really easy and helps clean up your desk wiring.

The MK-80 comes with a detachable palm-rest.

Two USB slots and a microphone and headphone input/output are available.

Due to its great build quality, the MK-80 is quite sturdy.

The surface is protected by a very nice high-quality rubbery coating.

This keyboard is considerably less expensive than a Ducky.

This keyboard has anti-ghosting n-key rollover, so that no keystrokes are lost when multiple keys are pressed simultaneously.
