WIRED A high-quality mechanical keyboard with a dedicated Mac layout, media keys, and controls. Silky and responsive Cherry MX Red switches aren’t too loud. TIRED Expensive, even for a Das. No ergonomic tilt options.
The Texas company makes some of our favorite mechanical keyboards, including models in the beefy Professional series and the sleek Prime 13. The MacTigr takes all of that hard-earned Das mojo and boils it down into a full-size mechanical keyboard with a minimal design and pure plug-and-play Mac compatibility.
The thin body is all metal, with an aluminum chassis topped by a steel plate. It feels sturdy and it has a matte black finish that makes it look kinda stealth. There’s no backlighting. A set of media buttons that sit above the 10-key pad control Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube in the browser, or whatever media player you last touched.
The volume knob, something Das has been including on its higher-end keyboards since the dawn of time, is especially luxe. It’s coated with a soft and grippy silicone. Hidden within are detents that quietly click as you spin the volume up and down. Next to the media keys is a dedicated sleep button that puts your Mac to bed with one press.
The Cherry MX Reds are linear switches, so they register each keystroke with almost no physical resistance . This makes the MacTigr surprisingly sensitive; it took me a full week of practice before I could type at my normal speed without repeated keystrokes. Since that getting to know you phase, it’s become a trusted favorite.
