The charge lasts for a long time (i have gone a month without charging it).

They are simply shorter and the spherical top is more intense, with clearer edges, more akin to the mt3 profile.

Price

An amazing value for this level of tech & it's staying on my desk.

Especially for the price this is an excellent high quality keyboard that turns heads at the office i use it at.

Ditched my pricey mechanical keyboard for this, and i don’t regret it one bit.

The premium you pay is mainly for the look and feel, and it does hit home if you're older than 40.

Packaging/appearance

Despite being hot-swappable, i find that the box whites match this board really nicely and also just sound really good.

(a slip inside the box tells you when your keyboard was manufactured.

They did the board justice pairing the kailh box white v2s and semi hollowish case to resemble the old clacky boards.

It would also be great if they were offered together as a package but i didn't see such an offering.

Competitiveness

It sounds a bit hollow, but the overall feeling is close enough to that of the original ibm.

He was shocked at how much better it was in person when compared to all the online images and recordings.
