Canada based Matias Corporation has made a release of some tactile keyboards; they claims that the new Quite Pro is the Worlds quickest Mechanical keyboards. Matias says that; it comes without any sacrifices to tactile feedback, and is said to be the result of more than two years of work. As usual, the keyboard comes in both PC and Mac specific models (all-black and silver & black, respectively), each of which boasts three USB 2.0 ports and laser-etched keys with beveled keytops as opposed to the increasingly common flat variety. Each model is priced at $150, with US models available today. The UK, German, and Nordic versions are promised for January. Matias says it’s also planning to sell the new switches its developed to other companies for use in their own keyboards, and even to hobbyists interested in going the DIY route.
