Matias Tactile Diy Pro Keyboard Jp For Mac: Features, Benefits, and Tips



Legendary Feel & Speed of Alps mechanical keyswitches. Mac users who crave the feel of Apple's legendary Extended and Extended II keyboards will love the Tactile Pro. Unlike other keyboards made today, each key is built on an individual Alps Mechanical Switch. They feel better, and you'll type faster.




Matias Tactile Diy Pro Keyboard Jp For Mac




Sculpted keytops. The latest trend in keyboards is to have very flat & wide keys, with little or no space between them. You see this a lot on laptops and netbooks. While they look great, they can also be a little tricky to type on. The flatness makes it very easy to slide out of home row and lose your bearings.


3-port Hi-Speed USB 2.0 hub. For quickly attaching USB peripherals, nothing beats the convenience of an in-keyboard USB hub. No more reaching through the tangle of wires behind your computer to download photos from your digital camera. Just plug it into the keyboard and you're ready to go. Works great with MP3 players, keyring hard drives, joysticks, and mice too. It won't charge your iPod/iPhone, but for syncing it's perfect.


Available in US, German, Japanese, and UK versions. Different languages require different keyboard layouts, so we currently make US, German, Japanese, and British versions. If there's one you want that we don't make, please let us know.


The Matias Tactile Pro 3.0 plays nicely with your Mac out of the box with plug-and-play installation, and the key layout features reversed command and option keys. On the other hand, if you love the keyboard and are stuck with a PC, the Matias Web site provides Windows drivers that reconfigure the Alt and Windows keys.


While the general public is satisfied with flat Chiclet-style keys you get on most laptops and even the Apple Wireless Keyboard, typing purists will appreciate the Tactile Pro 3.0's beautifully sculpted keycaps that rest comfortably beneath your fingers and keep them planted in the home position for faster, and sometimes more accurate, typing. Similar to the Apple Extended II and the recent Das Keyboard models, the Matias Tactile Pro 3.0 uses mechanical switches underneath each key that provide an audible click and a tactile response with each depression. The Alps switches on the Tactile Pro actually feel louder and less springy than the Cherry Blue-branded switches found on the Das Keyboards, which could be good or bad depending on your environment. In either case, we should warn you that the keyboard makes a loud clacking noise that could be an irritating distraction to anyone in close proximity.


I'm on my third Matias keyboard now. I had a 1.0, and it died after years of intensive use. My first 2.0 suffered from a bad spacebar after just a few days. The company (without having me return the keyboard) sent me a second one no questions asked! My second 2.0 now tools along just fine.


Wow, $150 just for a keyboard. I remember back in the early 80's a tactile keyboard came with every CRT terminal and the whole thing was about $500, back when that was a lot of money. I did like those keyboards, though. I think the WYSE 50 was my favorite, way back in the day.


If you like what you've got, that's great. Personally, I find the feet immaterial, since it's bad for my wrists to have the keyboard at an angle. I've used an Icekey too, way back when, but wasn't as fond of the feel.


I have both a Matias tactilepro 2.0 and a Macally icekey. I call them my "loud" and "soft" keyboard. The Matias I use for writing and regular work. The Macally for when I am on phone calls doing interviews and need to take notes!


I want to like the Matias Tactile Pro keyboard, I really do, but every one of them I've been able to get my hands on has been intolerably buggy, in many of the same ways that your own article described.


I enjoyed using my Tactile Pro Keyboards 1.0 until I got Apple's current wired keyboard without a numeric keypad.Having a quiet keyboard is great when i am working on the computer at the same time talking to clients using my headset. No more distracting key clacking in the background.


I've been using the Tactile Pro 3 since it started shipping earlier this year, and absolutely love it. No problems, and I can now type without all the errors I was making with the Apple keyboard that came with my MacPro.


Actually weren't the Apple Extended Keyboards (manufactured by "The Keyboard Company") made with Cherry switches? I think the Alps keyswitches were used on the original Mac 512 and Plus (eg beige Macs). I too had a Tactile Pro Keyboard that worked like an expensive piece of doodoo and as a result I am hesitant to spend that kind of money on this keyboard.


The Keyboard Company manufactures and offers numerous type of keyboards and accessories, problably on of the largest, with various options ,(ex., linear, click, tactile, etc.). A look at the site is interesting, but for me, there is no reference to ISO/CSA Standard, as per my iMac/OS platform.


I visited the www.TactilePro.com web site and viewed the various photos of the keyboard. On the non-US keyboards the F14 and F15 keys show brightness adjustment icons. On the US keyboard, they are absent. Does it not adjust display brightness in the US?


The Tactile Pro 3 would seem to be the answer to my situation where I have graduated from many many years of loud-clicking friendly mechanical keyboards to a small flat aluminium thing provided with my new shiny iMac - and I can't adapt to this modern way of typing. (I'm 82 next birthday).


A better ergonomic keyboard.It's the product customers have been begging us to do for years - an ERGONOMIC keyboard that gives you all of the tactile feedback, greater comfort, faster typing speeds, and quiet operation of a Matias mechanical keyboard.


The best switches.To put it bluntly, most ergonomic keyboards "cheap out" on their keyswitches. They use rubber, instead of metal. Compromising here can ruin an otherwise good keyboard.


Narrower than most & more comfortable with a mouse.Thanks to our unique navigation cluster, the Ergo Pro is not as wide as other ergonomic keyboards. It's not much wider than a laptop keyboard.


Dedicated keys for... Undo, Cut, Copy, PasteWe've added dedicated hotkeys for the 4 most important keyboard shortcuts - undo, cut, copy, and paste. Best of all, no drivers are required. Everything works, right out of the box.


Sculpted keytops.The latest trend in keyboards is to have very flat & wide keys, with little or no space between them. You see this a lot on laptops and netbooks. While they look great, they can also be a little tricky to type on. The flatness makes it very easy to slide out of home row and lose your bearings.


Audio & media controls.By holding down the Fn key, you gain access to strategically placed keyboard shortcuts for Volume Up / Down, Mute, Pause / Play, Next Track, and Previous Track.


Ghosts busted.Most keyboards allow only a few keys to be pressed at once, so they can't keep up with very fast typists. The result is called ghosting - letters missing from what you actually typed, or additional letters that you didn't type.

^(CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT)(aka caret) is the character on normal keyboard, shifted 6.It is the classic notation to indicate ASCII control character in programing, and also used as a notation for pressing Control key for inputting control sequence.The symbol ismostly used in 1970s to 1990s, in documentation or from online posts by user.


The actuation point refers to the specific point when the key switch registers the key press, switches can have a variety of actuation points, measured by force in grams. A keyboard with a really light actuation


Steelseries QS1 switches are propietary switches found in Steelseries keyboards, these are made by Kaihua and resemble the Logtech Romer-G with the empty stemp in the middle for RGB lighting.


You have Tealios incorrectly labeled as tactile. They are linear switches. I think that some switches could be added as well. I was also thinking maybe Alpacas would be a good addition along with Sakurios/Roselios. At least for linear switches. There are a lot of new switches that can go up here. Also, the chart has so many overlaid switches that it is hard to read. And a column stating if a switch is available as an aftermarket switch or if it only comes mounted to the specific board by the company would help sort through switches when looking to upgrade/update.


Great point. I will say that in my limited experience, Khail Speed Copper have a much earlier tactile bump than the standard Cherry MX Brown or comparable switches. Topre switches, while not purely mechanical, operate the way you want and they feel great to type on.


The default Magic Keyboard has a compact, 78-key design that crunches all of its keys, including the arrows, into the smallest possible typing block. Very few other keyboards, even small ones, use this kind of layout. Apple also makes a full-size Magic Keyboard with a number pad, but Apple treats that more like the XL model, whereas most keyboard manufacturers see the full-size 104-key layout as the default.


Lastly, Macs have a few unique keys. The one you probably know best is the Command key, which is used for many popular keyboard shortcuts. It's used very differently from the Windows key. The Option key is a more direct parallel to the Alt key on Windows. And the newest Magic Keyboard, which comes with the M1 iMac, has a TouchID button that has no equivalent on a Windows keyboard. 2ff7e9595c
