After several years of using various Type II and III Das Keyboard, I’m finally closing that chapter. I had hoped to get reliable keyboards that would last a lifetime. However, it turned out that all my Type III keyboards suffer from some unknown problem, either a firmware bug that causes specific keys to be ignored occasionally, or a defective controller chip (since I didn’t notice that problem earlier), or simply defective keys (I think I did notice a different tactile feetback on defective keys). I think that’s inexcusable b/c the company advertises a lifetime of 3 million key presses or more per microswitch key (can’t remember the exact figure). Normal keyboards only last for a couple of months for me, and some of these Das Keyboard lasted a couple of years,  but 3 million key presses?? I don’t think that I really type all that much. I’ll resume  to using cheap keyboards for now, even if I have to replace them every couple of moons.
