True, but you can also make your own hamburgers, but people still go to McDonald's.

That said, I'm seriously considering dremeling the labels off the keys on my Logitech media elite keyboard, just to improve my typing skills.

I think the original Das had some other features to make it more elite, like weighted keys or some such. The Das II looks too much like an old IBM keyboard for my tastes. If they could make a sleeker looking keyboard without key labels, I'd buy it.
