Talk:Das Keyboard

message: 70.244.126.153; you were correct about the use of the word 'innovation'. The quotes were *meant* to indicate that the claim (of innovation) belonged to someone else (as I've seen at least one other blank keyboard, and this is an innovation in marketing only), but they looked sarcastic. Since it the blank keys probably aren't an innovation, the more neutral word "feature" (without quotes) seems a better compromise.
BTW, I reverted the paragraph structure (w/ some improvements); only 2 of the 3 selling points are related to the blank keytops (the weighted keys aren't).

thread_title:  Its a Cheap keyboard with blanked out keys 

message: Regarding the comment in the AfD stating that the criticism of v1 is just a shill for v2; nope. I wrote the first paragraph (i.e. criticism of v1) before v2 came out. It was an attempt to provide balance in what was previously a very advert-like or fanboyish article.
Personally, I thought the original Das Keyboard was a vastly overpriced gimmick, but it wasn't appropriate to put that in the article.

thread_title:  Criticism 

message: : Das Keyboard is made in the Czech Republic, making it a rarity in a market full of computer keyboards almost entirely made in China.
Which version? I'd assume the newer one, because (apparently) Cherry make the mechanical keys (the older DK was a membrane-based thingy), and my mechanical Cherry keyboard is also made in the Czech Republic. However, I'd like this confirmed. Fourohfour 14:33, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:Das Keyboard resized.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Das Keyboard resized.jpg

message: When it doesn't read like an ad, this article, at least the history section, currently reads like a children's book:
"Friends and colleagues asked him many times where they could buy a blank keyboard like his, but this was a one-of-a-kind keyboard"
So the criticism section was completely removed because it had "undue weight". Whatever weight it may have had, I'd say the scale is completely unbalanced at the moment. 99.191.117.241 (talk) 05:42, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Version as of 9/2/2009

message: The article claims that ""keyboard" is mostly used without an article in German". That is incorrect. There is no difference between the words "Keyboard" (capitalized in German) and "Tastatur" when it comes to the use of the definite article. Actually the use of articles in German is quite the same as in English which means that you hardly ever use a noun without an article if the article isn't replaced by another word (a possessive e.g., as in "my keyboard") or the noun is used in the plural where there is no indefinite article (e.g. "I prefer mechanical keyboards."). 93.222.255.108 (talk) 16:03, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
