Hasta La Gadget!

Das Keyboard, the company behind – you guessed it – the Das Keyboard, will now sell you some mint-green keycaps to replace your WASD keys. Aimed at gamers, the keys can be had with or without letters to fit (or contrast with) either the lettered or blank Das Keyboard. For $15 you also get a red escape key, a key-puller and free shipping.

The Das Keyboard, you might remember, is the rackety-clackety keyboard with the Cherry MX-style key switches, which make a noise fit to wake the neighbors and also give a very positive click to let you know you have pressed the key properly. I reviewed one back in October 2008 and was told by the company not to pop the keycaps off. I did anyway, to make the command and alt keys match the standard Mac layout, and it seems the Das Keyboard has finally agreed.

I’m not sure I’d want these ugly green keys, even if I was a gamer, but for just $15, it’s almost worth it just to have that bright red escape key up inn the corner.
