Das Keyboard Introduces Radio Frequency Blocking BagsRFID technology has certainly come in handy during some point in time, including helping hotels cut down the theft levels of their towels, while paranoid androids out there can always settle for a RFID door lock to ensure that losing your physical key need not give you sleepless nights. However, thieves too, have a penchant for technology, and this is where Das Keyboard’s HackShield bags come in handy – this is truly a one-of-a-kind backpack and messenger bag that enables professionals who are always on the move to remain protected against physical and digital intrusion.

Daniel Guermeur, creator of the Das Keyboard and CEO of Metadot Corporation, shared on how the HackShield bag came about. “The idea for our new bags came about after an experience I encountered on a very busy Fifth Avenue in New York City during the holiday shopping season. Within an hour, I realized someone had attempted to break into my backpack two separate times while I was making my way through the crowds. I also realized my digital information wasn’t as secure as I thought because my laptop had been communicating with the cloud, even though it was in sleep mode.”

Enter the Das Keyboard HackShield backpack and messenger bags, where its internal pockets come lined with HackShield RF blocking material, ensuring that no hacking attempts will go through. Each Das Keyboard bag will sport adequate HackShield-protected pockets that can fit a laptop, tablet and smartphone within. You can pick it up for $179 each if you are interested. [Press Release]

Das Keyboard Quiet Mechanical Keyboard

For those of you who tend to do a whole lot of typing in your line of work, surely you would know that there is nothing quite like a responsive keyboard with fantastic tactile feedback. Having said that, those projected keyboards are novelty devices that are unable to beat the real deal when it comes to churning out those reports as requested by the upper management. Single folks can just give this particular story the once over, or skip it altogether as they do not have to deal with typing in bed or in the bedroom while your partner is doing his or her darndest best to fall asleep. What you need is definitely something that works great as a keyboard, but is whisper quiet. The candidate to fill this pair of shoes would be the new Das Keyboard Quiet Mechanical Keyboard.

With the introduction of the Das Keyboard Quiet Mechanical Keyboard, it would mean that Das Keyboard’s popular range of high-performance mechanical keyboards has just gained another family member, where it is said to be able to reduce audible feedback to a minimum without sacrificing on performance. In fact, it claims to deliver one of the best tactile experiences. This latest newest member of the Das Keyboard family will boast of Cherry MX Red key switches that are combined with a new Quiet Key Design. In a nutshell, it would require far less force to actuate keys, where we are looking at 45g instead of 55g to 60g for majority of the keyboards out there, and users would then end up with a softer, more tactile and “whisper quiet” typing experience.

Daniel Guermeur, creator of the Das Keyboard and CEO of Metadot Corporation, said, “Professionals who use modern communication tools like Skype, GoToMeeting, Google Hangout and other means to interact during the workday need a quiet keyboard during their calls to help reduce background noise and distractions. People working in open space environments have expressed the same need. The growing demand for a keyboard that could deliver such an experience is what motivated us to design our newest product. The Das Keyboard Professional Quiet is the total package, delivering outstanding tactile feel and a whisper quiet typing experience. ”

You will be able to pick up the $149 Das Keyboard Professional Quiet in the following layouts – US, UK, German and Nordic.
