Das Keyboard

Das Keyboard is a series of high performance computer keyboards sold by Metadot Corporation, an open source software company located in Austin, Texas. Their most distinctive feature has been the absence of key labels, i.e. the keys themselves are completely blank, thereby supposedly helping to improve touch typing skills and eliminating the need to rearrange keys for alternate keyboard layouts. Labeled versions have also been available since 2008. The current iterations employ mechanical keyswitches.

The name uses the German neuter definite article das, thereby simply translating to "The Keyboard" (although the actual German term for "the keyboard" is die Tastatur). In German, das Keyboard refers instead to a musical keyboard instrument.

    The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is “What does a woman want?” [Was will das Weib?]
