The Das Keyboard arrived.

 First  impression:  It's  heavy, clicky. It definitely sounds great. I
 wouldn't compare it to the IBM Model M, though, which feels much  more
 sturdy and solid.

 Let's see how it performs over time.

 I  think  about getting some Linux keycaps. It's easy to replace them,
 so why not?

 Here's two audio files:

 To sum it up, the Das Keyboard feels  like  "clickerty-click"  whereas
 the  IBM  Model M is like "HEAVY METAL INDUSTRIAL CLACK". Or something
 like that.

 Nevertheless, it's a lot more fun to type on the Das Keyboard than  on
 my previous non-mechanical keyboard. :-)
