I've been putting some thought lately into getting myself a new keyboard for a christmas present for myself (obviously, still a few months away, but still). I've decided I want something really small, but I don't want to sacrifice so many keys that I'll really miss them. I do a lot of gaming, but I also would use the keyboard for typing. I'm thinking about getting browns since there are some people in the household that are annoyed with the blues on my BWU. My main concerns between the Race and the Pure (probably the two I'm looking at the most atm) are this: How much would I miss the arrow keys on the pure, and how much would the small shift key on the race impact my typing? Anyone able to speak from experience? I would also occasionally take the board to school with me if we're going to have a long class of typing (for whatever reason). Also, on a slightly unrelated note, how much of a difference do o-rings make on sound for blues, especially as someone that bottoms out consistently while gaming?
