Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Allows for the mouse to be kept closer
Because this keyboard has no numpad, it allows keeping the mouse ergonomically closer.
Pro Compact layout
With no numpad and no function row, all functions are executed using the same compact set of keys. This reduces hand movement and increases efficiency.
Pro Gateron switches
This keyboard uses Gateron keyswitches, which are clones of the Cherry design. Not only are they a bit cheaper (resulting in a cheaper keyboard overall), they are considered by keyboard enthusiasts to exceed Cherry switches in many respects (e.g. smoothness).
Cons
Con Ugly keycaps
The typeface on the stock keycaps leaves a lot to be desired.
