Are the pictures in the description page the correct? The keyboard layout is different from Das website: http://www.daskeyboard.com/model-s-professional/ Naming the in the Massdrop pictures there's an Fn key on the left side, while in the Das website there's no Fn key on the left side. Could someone from Massdrop explain why the layout is different form the Das website?

stillseasThis is an important question. Massdrop needs to verify this.
I own a Das Model S Pro keyboard that has the red switches and the same layout as the pictures in this drop (1.25+1+1+1.25+6(Space)+1.25+1+1+1.25) and the layout is a PITA to buy keycaps for. The keycaps are ABS on mine and it's not been easy to find a PBT set that includes a 6U spacebar.
I think the pictures on the das website show a model s with a "normal" layout.

tw000The Das Professional S changed OEM manufacturer at some point. The old OEM was Costar and at that time they have the "standard" 1.25, 1.25, 1.25, and 6.25 space. The Das Ultimate and Mac line up still uses Costar last I checked.
The new OEM which I forgot which company it is, does the new "non-standard" 1.25, 1, 1, 1.25, and 6 space (the one you own now). So my advise is to only buy the Ultimate, Mac, 4 and 4C models (standard layout).

HydeThanks for the info and backstory. Love the keyboard, but finding keycaps sucks.
That said, I really kinda like the layout for daily use. Even if it is a little funky.
