Question 2

Does this computer have protrusions so you can fell where the home keys are? I can't tell if the images are renders or photos.

Accepted Answer

Yes, it does have the standard home key guides.

Question 3

Is this particular model compatible with Mac?

Accepted Answer

I have yet to see a modern PC keyboard FULLY compatible with the Mac. Fully compatible means that keys work during startup so you can boot into safe mode, switch to a different drive, reinstall the operating system, run disk utility, reset PRAM, etc. I was burned when I bought a "fully" Mac-compatible keyboard that wasn't. Now I must keep an Apple keyboard nearby for startup tasks.

Question 4

Should I buy this keyboard or a keyboard like the Corsair K70?

Accepted Answer

I had a K95 RGB that bit the dust, IMO backlighting is a toy that's a bit overrated. (Something for me to fiddle with when I'm bored, but more an indication of needing to get outside instead of sitting around some more in front of a computer). Also I looked up trying to fix a water-damaged Corsair, what a nightmare.

I ended up buying this Das keyboard from my local MicroCenter, same price, and could just pick it up and take it home. They also offer a no-questions-asked warranty, which in my use-case (I love coffee and will typically drink it in the early morning while I work at the keyboard) is really important!

Lastly the Corsair isn't nearly as solid-feeling as this unit is. For a similar price, this Das 4 Professional has a great volume knob (the Corsair's is an awkward 'roller' that I never used). I never used the Corsair's programmable function keys (may be of interest to gamers but not for me). Also Corsair's software for lighting (iCue) was enormous - believe it or not, it is 456MB large! Insane - this keyboard needs no software, it is plug-and-play, immediately recognized by W10 and I'm told is fine for Linux as well.
