Truly Ergonomic 209 vs KB Paradise v60

The 209 comes with blank keycaps, which looks great. It also helps learning how to touch type.

The 209 is designed ergonomically, so it fits user's hands naturally, making it comfortable to use.

This keyboard's keys are arranged in a non-staggered way. This allows for a more efficient, easier typing process.

The 209 key layout can be altered: users can move functions between keys as they please. Settings are firmware-saved, so they apply even if the keyboard is moved to a different computer.

The keyboard backlighting color can be set to either green and blue or red and blue. This option can be switched on the fly.

The 60% form factor means your hands almost never have to depart from home row for any reason, increasing efficiency.

With this keyboard, there's a wide variety of switches to choose from. From practically all Cherry switches to cheaper, non-backlit Gateron or Matias switches.

This keyboard is built to last.

The keycaps are typeset in Futura, arguably a more attractive option than what many similar keyboards (such as the KBC Pokers) feature.

The v60 has six DIP switches on the back that allow for a variety of layout customization options, and the keyboard comes with extra keycaps to reflect those options, so that the inscriptions always match the key functions. Some examples include replacing Caps Lock with Ctrl (a popular trick for programmers, as some Unix software was written with such a layout in mind) or swapping left Super and left Alt to accommodate users used to Apple keyboards.
