![]() Metadot is still using high-endurance, gold-plated switches, in your choice of two styles. (If you're using an older computer or you don't have a free USB 3.0 port into which you can plug the keyboard, it will still work as USB 2.0.) Those USB ports have also been moved from the keyboard's right edge to its rear edge, which is more convenient if you're a right-handed mouser. One further change nudges it further to the front of the pack: The two-port USB hub, also located in the upper right, now supports the faster USB 3.0, an industry rarity. Located just above the number pad are buttons for Sleep, Mute, Play/Pause, Track Back, and Track Forward, along with a large volume knob, the addition of all of which thrusts the Das Keyboard 4 into the 2010s. ![]() Whereas the Das Model S added media capabilities by using a devoted key to flip the actions of many of the F1-F12 keys, the Das Keyboard 4 introduces dedicated hardware controls. The biggest visual departure is a functional one. Otherwise, the overall design of the Das Keyboard 4 is largely unchanged from that of the Model S: The black exterior finish is now matte rather than glossy, and a different font is being used on the keycaps (unless you opt for the all-blank Ultimate version), but that's about it.
