Das Keyboard, a leader in mechanical keyboards, today announced the introduction of the MacTigr, a modern, low-profile mechanical keyboard designed for the Mac. The new MacTigr has a sleek, modern design made with the highest-quality components to create the ultimate typing experience on Macs. The MacTigr features Mac-specific keys, linear Cherry MX Low Profile Red mechanical switches, low-profile double-shot PBT keycaps, a 2-port superspeed USB-C hub, volume knob, sleep button and media controls. Encased entirely in metal, the slim housing features a heavy-duty, matte black stainless steel top, and a gunmetal gray aluminium unibody, making it extremely rigid and durable.

"Mac users have been deprived of having high-quality, mechanical keyboards designed specifically for macOS," said Daniel Guermeur, co-founder and CEO of Das Keyboard. "Our new MacTigr is built to last and helps users achieve the highest levels of productivity and creativity, while the low-profile switches and soft PBT keycaps produce a supple, satisfying action, making it feel like you are typing on a cloud. We've brought the best of both worlds together - design and durable functionality - for a premium Mac typing experience. This is the Mac keyboard overachievers will love using."



The MacTigr is ideal for professional Mac users that need the best tool to do their jobs - tools that increase user experience and productivity.

Features of the MacTigr include:
  • Ultra-slim design to make a bold statement
  • 100% metal body
  • Linear Cherry MX Low Profile Red switches are designed to withstand 100 million keystrokes
  • Low-profile double-shot PBT keycaps (US layout only)
  • 2-Port USB-C hub for insanely fast data transfer speeds and charging
  • Enhanced 105-key layout with command and option keys, and media keys for play, pause, skip, rewind, eject, and brightness
  • Soft, textured volume knob
  • Dedicated sleep control to save energy and the planet
  • Full-NKRO enables users to press multiple keys simultaneously and is great for gaming

The new MacTigr is priced at $219 and available in the US through Das Keyboard, Amazon, and online retailers on August 16. It will be available in Europe through Das Keyboard Germany as well as internationally through other retailers in mid-September, 2022.

When I read low profile I was hoping for the Cherry ultra-low profile switches.
The current Cherry switches are too scratchy for my taste.
