Verifying against the live site and live WHOIS/DNS…
Common questions
Is daskeyboard.com legit or a scam?
AboutUs doesn't label sites "legit" or "a scam": this page lists the dated registration, DNS, HTTPS, mail-authentication and safety checks we could verify, each with its source, so you can decide for yourself.
Who owns daskeyboard.com?
Nobody has completed AboutUs's owner verification for daskeyboard.com. That's true of most sites here — it isn't itself a warning sign.

What daskeyboard.com said about itself, 2006
Quoted from the site's AboutUs wiki page in each year it changed (1 version). These are the page's own words at the time, not AboutUs's assessment. New words · dropped words
2006
Daniel Guermeur, born-to-be a programmer, and founder of Metadot Corporation, an open source software company, has invented Das Keyboard. Why? He felt the only way to improve his typing was to stop looking at the keys thus having a blank keyboard would be the ultimate answer.
