Connecting a keyboard and working with it is always a simple scenario for Windows users. But for Mac users, it is a bit hard. It is true that it also can connect to any keyboard. But when it comes to modifier keys they didn’t properly work. The keycaps, volume knobs, Space keys, or sleep-awake buttons also didn’t function either. In the market, there are some good keyboards for these functions. But the latest one is Das Keyboard MacTiger. In this article, we are going to review this latest keyboard.
Features

The power comes with a 45cN actuation force. This means it is also good for gaming as well as typing. Also, you can push down keys as you want at once but still, they are recognized.
