There is a serious key transposition issue that metadot has yet to address. More info can be found here: http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?t=909 I’d stay away from the Das III for now.

That to me was the best feature on the II. I haven’t been able to figure it out yet, but does the Das III have the super scoop for the homerow keys? That to me was the best feature on the II.

From what I have read, the Das Keyboard uses the same kind of switches. The Typematrix looks like a neat layout, but it is a laptop keyboard. If Typematrix makes a proper clicky version of it I might consider it. I like my old IBM Model M keyboards. From what I have read, the Das Keyboard uses the same kind of switches.

Bring your elbows in, rather than bending your wrists, and you'll find that you don't need ergonomic keyboards. The Das Keyboard is truly a revolutionary keyboard, for only the most serious of typists.

As a physiotherapist, I don’t think so… For me if it’s not an orthogonal keyboard, it’s not a good keyboard. Even if you use a dvorak layout. At least, give the Typematrix¹ a chance !
