Still, slagging on the MacTigr makes me feel like one of those people who eats at the French Laundry and complains that the bread rolls are the wrong temperature. It’s an awesome keyboard. It’s very expensive, but it’s the best match for a Mac I’ve found yet. If you spend most of your waking hours typing, a professional accessory like this is worth the investment.

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.

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 MacTigr is a sturdy, well-built keyboard with low-profile linear switches, full n-key rollover, and a layout only a Mac user will love — but will you love it for $219?

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

Overall, this keyboard is a great product that achieves what it sets out to achieve — offer reliable, comfortable typing in a solid design.

All things considered though, the MacTigr is a great typist's board for Mac use. It's well built, offers some especially handy functionality and above all, a brilliant typing experience, all in a smart and forward-thinking package that will sit well with any modern Apple computer.

Overall, the Das Keyboard MacTigr looks, feels and sounds great and gives professionals on Macs a truly enjoyable typing experience. High-quality keyboards aren't cheap.
