==Main line== ===Das Keyboard=== Introduced in 2005, the original Das Keyboard was a rebranded black [[Key Tronic E03600 family]] [[rubber dome]] keyboard, custom ordered with all blank keys.{{citation needed}} ===Das Keyboard II=== Following on from the success of the rubber dome model, Metadot followed it up with a mechanical version in 2006: a [[Cherry G80-3000]] bearing the same old-style Das Keyboard as the original model. The keycaps were [[POM]]. The keyboard used PCB-mounted [[Cherry MX Blue]] switches. Cherry has sold a similar model with its own logo as the G80-3000LFCXY-2, but these might be even rarer than the Das Keyboard II. ===Das Keyboard III=== {{main|Das Keyboard III}} In 2008, Metadot introduced a fully custom product. This was available as the Das Keyboard Professional (with keycap legends for the first time) and Das Keyboard Ultimate (with the traditional blank legends). With this generation came a large variety of models including a model targeted to Macintosh users. ===Das Keyboard 4=== {{main|Das Keyboard 4}} The 4th iteration of the Das Keyboard line was revealed in March 2014. The design retains the extended section in the top-right corner for the 'daskeyboard' logo. The LED cluster has been revised to make way for dedicated media keys and an oversized volume knob. As of 29th of March, 2014, the Das Keyboard 4 is available for pre-order in two variants. The standard 'Das Keyboard 4 Professional' and the [[blank key|blank]] 'Das Keyboard 4 Ultimate'. Both keyboards can be ordered with Cherry MX blue or brown switches. But there is a variant with [[Greetech]] brown switches as well.
