We're not sure just how many of you are familiar with the Das Keyboard mechanical keyboard, but those of you out there who're lucky enough to own one of these peripherals targeting specifically extreme users will be quite glad to find out that the Model S will get a brand-nnew color keycap set specifically designed for gamers.

The set consists of four green replacement keys (W, A, S, D, since they're the gamers' favorites), as well as a red Esc key, and is available for both the Ultimate and Professional versions of Das Keyboard’sModel S mechanical keyboard.

Those of you who're not yet familiar with the Das Keyboard should know that this one of a kind keyboard comes with German-engineered gold-plated mechanical key switches which produce a distinct “click” with each keystroke, and is available in two versions, namely the Professional, featuring labeled keys, and the Ultimate, a completely blank keyboard.

“The Model S keyboard is frequently praised as a top keyboard by reviewers and gamers alike, and we thought a little extra ‘zing’ would further add to its geeky appeal,” said Daniel Guermeur, creator of the Das Keyboard and CEO of Metadot Corporation.

“Das Keyboard is also a company that listens to its fan base, and there’s been growing demand for a color keycap set among our community of keyboard and gaming fanatics. We trust this new offering will help feed gamers’ power-hungry desires in a small yet fancy way, and give them one more reason to be the envy of their peers,” the company's CEO concluded.

The color keycap set from Das Keyboard is available in the company’s online store for around 15 US dollars and it can be ordered as a stand-alone set or in addition to a Model S purchase, and also includes a key puller which enables users to easily remove and replace the necessary keys.
