Why doesn't Linus review a Das keyboard?

I have noticed that Linus never posted a video about Das Keyboards. Why is that? Was there a video about Das Keyboards?

They probably never sent him one or he never bothered to ask.

 

Das Keyboard is pretty standard faire these days as far as keyboards are concerned so there's no real point in reviewing one now. Actually, there's almost no real point in reviewing any mechanical keyboard unless it does something special because they're all pretty much the same these days when you strip the extra software features and macros.

I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted

He's not a huge keyboard reviewer, plus DAS keyboards don't really appeal to his audience (his audience is more into RGB boards and such, or any lighting at all), so there is not much use in LTT reviewing them or DAS sending them one.

 

Barnacules has a pretty nice DAS keyboard review.

It's a bloody keyboard for one, and two, he did an unboxing years ago. 

What more can you say about a mechanical keyboard other than it types well and the layout is the same? The market is so overly saturated that it doesn't matter what keyboard he reviews, the opposition is most likely going to be pretty much identical anyway, plus or minus a few features.

Holy crap, I didn't know about Das Keyboard but I'm glad I do now! Been itching to get a new keyboard but had been dreading the prospect of having to get RGB when I don't want it at all.

LTT has moved from reviewing normal keyboards to reviewing special keyboards. Either really super cheap or really super weird. Has Das Kayboard anything fitting to those categories?
