Das Keyboard Model S Professional Mechanical Keyboard for Mac Review

Nir Schneider — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 20:14:34 +0000

Mechanical keyboards are back from the dead, in style and better than ever. Today's keyboards are all about being as stealthy as a hovering black ninja in complete darkness. Like many of you out there, I love me my silent and squishy keyboard keys with an extra layer of silence that is a silicone keyboard cover. But that all changed when I went mechanical. Having had no real experience using the full frontal mechanical keyboards of today, I went in head first not knowing what sort of madness will come out from Das Keyboard. The company is known to have one of the best mechanical keyboards known to man. And they've just released a Mac version, the Model S Professional for Mac. The full review awaits you after the cut!

ADATA S511 SSD Review

All SSD drives have one thing in common, speed. And lots of it. These little lightweights are the superchargers that will boost whatever OS it is that you are using. That's all sounds very good, but good things do come at a cost, and SSD drives have yet to get off their high horse with ridiculous price points considering the storage capacity they offer in return. ADATA's S511 SSD is the company's flagship drive with promising performance on paper at affordable price tags. We've put the S511 thru the test so be sure to jump past the break for the full review!
