Das Keyboard was founded in 2005 by Metadot Corporation in Austin, Texas. The company started with a radical concept: a mechanical keyboard with completely blank keycaps. The idea was simple yet powerful -- a keyboard that forces you to learn to touch-type and rewards you with a distraction-free typing experience.
What began as a niche product for programmers and typing enthusiasts quickly grew into a global brand. Word spread through tech communities, developer forums, and word of mouth. Das Keyboard became synonymous with quality, durability, and the satisfying feel of genuine mechanical switches.
Today, Das Keyboard products are used by professionals at Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, startups, and home offices around the world. Our team in Austin continues to design and engineer keyboards that combine premium materials, thoughtful design, and uncompromising build quality.
