Pros & Cons
Pros
One nagging issue i found with the first keyboard, the letters wear off/fade over time. I spend the entire day on my computer typing, so the feel of this keyboard is a little perk in my daily work routine. My only gripe is that it's heavy enough that ... Read More
The keys are a bit quieter and have a higher pitched click than a model m. All the unusual keys used by programmers are in the proper positions. The keyboard is louder than most normal keyboards these days, but i've been doing this since i was a teena... Read More

Packaging/appearance
I would bet with no data whatsoever to support me that the size of the keycaps and the lack of navigation bumps on the fj keys ... Read More
