Enter Das Keyboard to redress the balance with the amusingly named MacTigr. This keyboard offers a full Mac layout, mechanical switches, a volume knob and plenty of creature comforts &#8211; but is it worth its exorbitant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0B9DXS6XR?tag=eurgam-df-us-20\" rel=\"sponsored\">$219<\/a> asking price? <\/p>\n<p>First, my credientials: as someone that splits their time between Windows and MacOS, I&#8217;ve long been agitating for a proper dedicated MacOS keyboard to swap to. For too long Mac users have been lumbered with the runts of the litter when it comes to keyboards &#8211; the current selection is generally awash with non-mechanical options with mushier keys and less consistent key action &#8211; and even Apple&#8217;s own Magic Keyboards aren&#8217;t all that magic. So, the MacTigr has the potential to deliver a considerable upgrade, with the functionality that Mac users rely on and the mechanical switches they don&#8217;t know they&#8217;re missing.<\/p>\n<p>The MacTigr is a board that offers the traditional Mac layout, odd function keys and all, in a clean and sharp-looking package. The outer casing is comprised almost entirely of metal with a steel top plate and aluminium casing, which means the MacTigr features plenty of heft &#8211; it weighs in at 2.4lbs, or just over a kilo for metric users. It&#8217;s remarkably well made, with no signs of deck flex in the case, even under intense typing load, and feels excellent. Despite that heft though, the MacTigr is especially slim and modern looking, especially thanks to its use of MX Low Profile switches, which I&#8217;ll talk about in a moment.\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/digitalfoundry-2022-das-keyboard-mactigr-review\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Source &#8211; eurogamer.net<\/p>\n<p>All content and images belong to their respected owners.
