Product details

  • 100% METAL - Encased entirely in metal, the slim housing features a heavy-duty, matte black stainless steel top, and a gunmetal gray aluminum unibody, making it extremely rigid and durable.
  • UP TO 100 MILLION KEYSTROKES - The MacTigr has low profile linear Cherry MX red switches, giving your new mechanical keyboard life up to 100 million keystrokes with no loss of quality. High-performance, gold-plated switches provide the best contact and typing experience because, unlike other metals, gold does not rust, increasing the lifespan of the switch.
  • LOW-PROFILE DOUBLE SHOT PBT KEYCAPS: Equipped with Das Keyboard’s durable double shot low-profile PBT keycaps with sharp, crisp, white legends. With two shots of PBT, the rich, black outer layer displays the bright white inner layer. Typing on these low-profile keycaps provides a soft touch, and the PBT is highly durable, so will not wear or shine, or fade.
  • DESIGNED FOR MACs - Complete with Mac-specific keys, the MacTigr has many features Mac loyalists would expect, and then some. A 2-port USB-C hub for insanely fast data transfers and charging, dedicated media keys for play, pause, skip, and rewind, large volume knob, eject, command, and brightness keys. Plus, an energy-saving sleep button puts your workstation to sleep instantly to save energy and the planet.
  • SILENT RESPONSE – Enjoy a smooth and effortless typing experience on the MacTigr, and execute every keystroke with lightning-fast precision. Full-NKRO enables users to press multiple keys simultaneously and is excellent for fast typing or gaming. Ideal for home office or workplace environment.

Das Keyboard's MacTigr would be the aftermarket Mac mechanical keyboard to beat—if it didn't cost so much.

Das Keyboard has a decent reputation in the mechanical keyboard community, but the new MacTigr full-size keyboard for macOS disappoints. With keycaps that feel cheap and pop off the switches with alarming ease, the MacTigr is not worth $219.

The Das Keyboard MacTigr mechanical keyboard is a well-built keyboard that brings mechanical switch comfort and reliability to the Apple crowd. Only the omission of backlighting and wireless capability keep it from being the perfect keyboard for Apple users.
