No more typing on the sly while on conference calls. Zero ergonomic features.
Mediocre stock keycaps

Glossy finish picks up dust and fingerprints very easily
The dedicated media keys are a nice addition but some macro keys would have been even nicer. Lack of backlighting seems like an unfair omission for a $169 keyboard. No wrist rest option.
