Even the $80 CM Storm Quickfire Rapid offers a software suite and a few extra features, and both it and the Corsair use superior Cherry MX keys.

A tenkeyless keyboard that costs more than $100 is not unheard of, but something like the Corsair K65 RGB gives you both full rainbow backlighting and a robust software suite.

The 4C Ultimate is a perfectly good keyboard, but it's expensive and - other than the lack of letters - unremarkable. As it lacks macro functionality, however, it's not an ideal choice for high-level tournament or massively multiplayer online play. Like any keyboard with high-quality keys, the 4C Ultimate felt comfortable and responsive in every genre. To put this to the test, I ran it through the standard Tom's Guide battery of Titanfall, StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm, Assassin's Creed Unity and Star Wars: The Old Republic. While the 4C Ultimate is primarily for typing, the website claims that it's a perfect companion for gaming as well.

A key for disabling the Windows button during gameplay sessions works the same way. It's uncomfortable and hard to see, although it does work just fine once you get used to it. The designations are absolutely tiny, and require an awkward combination of the lower-left Function button with the upper row to function. The 4C Ultimate also has media controls mapped to the top row of Function keys, but good luck seeing them. Not having it doesn’t hurt the overall typing experience, but it would have added a welcome bit of flavor. It can also illuminate a keyboard’s general shape in a dark room, and it can look attractive, given the right setup. Still, backlighting is not strictly for highlighting letters. The peripheral lacks backlighting - fair enough, since there are no letters or numbers to see, and most touch typists do not need to see the keyboard, anyway. You can't program macros, and would have no extra keys for them, even if you could. Not having software does have a few drawbacks, though, especially for gamers. While this isn't ideal for high-level gaming, it saves hardcore typists and more casual gamers a few potential headaches.

It has no special drivers and no dedicated software. The 4C Ultimate is admirably lightweight in terms of installation.

They’re comfortable and functional overall, but not the best the industry has to offer. I usually like a bit of resistance on my mechanical switches, but the Greetech Browns felt a bit stiff overall. When we tested the Logitech G710+ with Cherry MX Brown switches, I found that I typed just as fast as on my office keyboard. Compare this to a Cherry MX Brown switch, which requires 45 g and has 2 mm of travel. One potential reason for the slower typing is that the 4C Ultimate’s Greetech Brown switches require a fair amount of force to actuate: 55 g with 3 mm of travel. After working with the keyboard for a few days, I tried the typing test again with similar results. A standard Dell office keyboard gave me 111 words per minute with an error rate of zero. Using the Ten Thumbs Typing Test, I logged 102 words per minute with a 1 percent error rate on the 4C Ultimate. While typing on the 4C Ultimate is extremely comfortable, it’s not necessarily fast. The 4C Ultimate lets consumers choose between resistant-but-quiet Browns and their clackety Blue counterparts. Keys and Typing SpeedĪ mechanical keyboard is only as good as its switches, and in this respect, the 4C Ultimate works fairly well, with two solid choices for mechanical key aficionados. The 4C Ultimate is also tenkeyless, so take into account how much you really want a numpad before picking one up. While this won't intimidate touch typists, hunt-and-peckers are better off with the $143 Das Keyboard 4C Professional, which has letters. No letters, no numbers, no Enter, no Shift, no Print Screen - nothing. Where the 4C Ultimate distinguishes itself from most keyboards is that there are no letters on any of the keys. The keyboard's face is anodized aluminum (the keycaps are still plastic), and its shiny jet-black face can look either elegant or cool, depending on whether you need it in an office or a gaming rig setup. Still, Das Keyboard promises that the 4C Ultimate looks awesome, and lives up to its promise.
