I like how they added inboard macro keys. It was odd before how the Advantage had all this programming capability but you had to come up with some new keystrokes.
Is it me or the price difference between the two makes the Pro model a no-brainer? Wireless, backlighting, better keycaps, and better programming model for only $40 more?
- ianai 5y agoNot everybody wants a wireless keyboard. The least desirable thing, to me, is probably the backlight. It's clearly toggle-able though, so should be fine.
- toyg 5y agoAnd if it's like my Freestyle Edge, at some point the backlight will just stop working every time you reboot, anyway... (I love my Edge, but this particularly bug annoys me)
- FullyFunctional 5y agoYou find ABS (soft and light plastic that wears down with even moderate usage) to be superior to PBT which is heavier and FAR more durable?
- jerlam 5y agoI'll be the first to admit I know nothing about keycaps, it always seemed like worrying about the paint on a car and ignoring the engine. I'm guessing they had to use the worse keycaps on the "Pro" for backlighting?

- FullyFunctional 5y agoTrust me, you can immediately feel the difference and you can see the difference after at most a year. As someone who types 12+ hours every day, yeah, I care. Car paint protects the body, but is otherwise almost exclusively cosmetic. Keycaps however is what you touch. You don't touch a keyboard (in a meaningful way), so I think your analogy is flawed.
