If you do a lot of typing, like me, it’s an absolute godsend. If you have the money I would highly recommend picking up any one of the Das Keyboards out there! In my mind, it’s perhaps one of, if not THE most comfortable keyboards out on the market.

I've been using this keyboard for a bit over 5 months now and I can say that it has been an amazing keyboard. It's easy to clean, feels great to type on, while also being backed by amazing customer support. One of my keycaps were lower than the others so I messaged them and they sent me a free keycap.

Amazing keyboard for gaming and typing. Couldn't be happier. I chose the soft pressure point model and the MX Browns are just what I wanted.

I bought this to replace a G11 keyboard and it is a huge improvement. I don't miss the G-keys at all as I never got them to do anything useful. I also like that it is more compact than the G11.
I am not writing a review based on experience - I know this is an amazing keyboard. The Cherry Brown switches have a great feel, and aren't too loud which is also nice (although much louder than your typical membrane keyboard). Was a little disappointed that a key removal tool wasn't included (especially for this price), and some many not like the shiny surface easily attracts fingerprints.
Had a k120 logitech keyboard which is excellent btw as a low cost but good feel keyboard. Had logitech G15, mx3200 which is same as mx5500. Tried the blackwidow.
very high quality keyboard, probably the best you could buy, cherry browns are very soft to type on, the sound from typing is simply amazing, i just cant stop typing!!
