I am really struggling to see a sustainable market for the Das Keyboard 6 Professional at the $200 asking price. The feature set is very similar to the Keyboard 4 Professional from over five years ago, and even then it barely won the recommendation with the student discount caveat I mentioned in that review. The competition for your money in 2022 is so much more and the bar is way higher, to where I really don't see why anyone reading this review would go for this keyboard compared to the various other options from the likes of Akko, Varmilo, Epomaker, Keychron, and even Glorious Gaming and Hexgears if you wanted to get something local from the USA. Then there are the mainstream brands such as CORSAIR and Razer who have stepped up their game big time in the last couple of years and take away the multi-language layout support advantage Das had over some of those smaller brands which only cater to the US ANSI layout.

I also don't think Das Keyboard enjoys the brand awareness it previously did, whereby an average mechanical keyboard user would have perhaps heard of it alongside other mainstream brands. If the company is targeting the working professional, then perhaps there is the opportunity for someone to have previously used a Das Keyboard and have recommended it to their co-workers, but this won't last long as the enthusiast keyboard market grows and moves into the workspace itself, if not already. I also noticed Das Keyboard introduced another keyboard recently targeting macOS users, and it looks better designed with a full aluminium unibody, albeit costs even more. I can only urge Das to reconsider its pricing here or get on with the times to be more competitive sooner than later. When asked about how it justifies the asking price, Das Keyboard mentioned that the "price of the Das Keyboard 6 Professional reflects the backlit Cherry MX switches, two-port USB-C hub, USB-C cable and adapter, aluminium enclosure, and premium materials used in the production of the model." Take that for what you will but know that as it currently stands I can't recommend the Das Keyboard 6 Professional.
