I have been using the Das ultimate for a couple of years now. Typing IS much faster, although using the windows version on a Mac can be frustrating at times, especially if you've used it on Windows first. I also noticed some wrist fatigue at first, although I put this down to the lack of wrist support (I'd been used to working with a high support integral to my keyboard before this, and laptops where the keys are the same height as the wrist rest). A £7 wrist gel thingy has served me fine from a week after the Das arrived, although it does now look a bit dirty. I've used it in two offices, for years, noone has complained about the noise ever. And finally, I really like the number pad, especially when the numbers across the top have no markings - I still mash the wrong symbol keys at the top fairly frequently.
