Typing on a Das Keyboard is a lot like typing on any other computer keyboard — except the keys are blank. The company’s founder, a self-proclaimed “uber geek,” says he built a prototype to test his hypothesis that a blank keyboard would force him to become a better typist. After many people asked him where he bought it, he decided to start making them commercially. The black, enhanced USB keyboard has 104 keys — all of them blank — in a wedge-shaped design reminiscent of the fabled IBM Model M, a keyboard with spring-loaded, clicking keys considered by some to be the greatest keyboard ever built.
