WAIT WHAT? O_O;; When did Das switch vendors? Are you saying the new vendor is cheaper and/or worse than the old one? If so...well mark me sad...very sad.

As for the patent, that wouldn't stop Klass1k from getting his from qtan or another ebay vendor would it?

Do you have a link to the patent?

Excuse me, what?
Das always has and still uses Costar.
As far as I know, the new one they announced today still does.

I don't know about the Filco patent. But I e-mailed Das and got this reply:
Quote:
Thanks for your interest in Das Keyboard. I can't disclose the names of our vendors, but I can say that the new media keyboards are made in China. The Ultimate and Professional for Mac keyboards are made in Taiwan.

If you have any other questions please let me know.

Kind regards,

Das Keyboard Support

So the rumour is true O____O

In short:

Das Professional S - Costar
Das Professional S Silent - Costar
Das Professional S Mac - Costar
Das Media Edition - Unknown China vendor

They mentioned on their Facebook page that they don't have the equipment to do front side printing.

This is funny but I did spot another Chinese mechanical keyboard clone with Bank Gothic font.
