The ultimate professional keyboard!
By Dan F. on Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2017
Build Quality: 5/5 Excellent. The top panel is METAL and the keyboard doesn't rattle or flex like cheaper models. Has a comfortable, reassuring weight to it that feels indicative of it's high quality, like a new iPhone. Features: 5/5 No backlight, extra media keys or RGB; be aware that the 4C doesn't sell itself based on extra features. It is designed to perform the essential features that are needed and perform them perfectly. And it does. Layout & Design: 5/5 The attention to detail here is evident, and everything about this keyboard feels high-quality, refined and optimized. I did notice that this keyboard sits quite a bit lower than other mechanical keyboards I have seen, which I really like. No need for a wrist pad or reaching my fingers up a mountain to reach the keys. This greatly improved my typing experience and felt much more natural than other keyboards that sit >1.5" high. Switches: 5/5 Compared to MX Clears on the CODE 87 I was testing out, I loved these Greetech Browns waaay better. The keys were just as quiet as the Clears, but these felt clean and crisp where the Clears felt a bit "sandy" as if they were sticking when depressed at an angle. These keys had just the right depth of travel, resistance and actuation point. I plan to test these against MX Blacks, but for now these are my favorite. Value: 4.5/5 With a price of $113 and compared to other mechanical keyboards on the market by WASD, Code 87, Corsair, Razer, and others, I think this is a decent price. Some might argue it is overpriced since it lacks the "extra" features that other products offer (media keys, RBG, etc.). However, since this keyboard performs all its functions simply and perfectly, that makes the price worth it to me. Conclusions: - Exceptional design that is clean, sturdy, functional and professional looking - Switch preference will be largely subjective, but I really like the Greetch Browns - On price, you get what you pay for -- quality!

4C is a major step down from the Das Keyboard 4
By Erich R. on Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2015
This keyboard can best be described as the Ultimate bait and switch. The Das Keyboard 4 Ultimate was a work of art; elegantly designed and the most delightful feel of any keyboard I have ever used. I initially purchased this keyboard with the belief that I would have the same experience with a slightly smaller form factor (I have a small desk at my house), however within typing my first words I noticed that it was not even close to the same experience that I had with my Das Keyboard 4. It feels like a cheap knock off compared to the 4. I agree with many of the other reviewers out there, the keys feel more scratchy or muddy, less the delightful click when pressing an authentic Cherry switch. The other thing that grinds my gears about this is that they clearly are attempting to deceive their loyal customers, by putting a switch that costs significantly less and switching out the Cherry they have no doubt reduced their manufacturing cost but have completely neglected to pass those savings on to their customers. Instead, they are merely trying to put lipstick on a pig and charge the same price as other competing manufacturers (see WASD or others) who are using the real deal. If you do not have a problem with non-Cherry switches but want the cool look/feel and the Das Keyboard brand then I would recommend going with this keyboard, but if you're a purist and demand nothing but the best typing experience I would certainly look else where.
