I got this 2 drops ago and I use it as my travel keyboard for conferences or on other trips where I have to do work while out of town. I use it with my laptop. I have to say, this keyboard was definitely designed to be used with a laptop. The angled, left-side position of the cable is weird at home but is a genius fit wit a latop - it follows the lines of the laptop to stay close to the edge and out of the way, and is on the side without a mouse or side-facing USB slots. It sits at the perfect height and doesn't need extra tilt, either. And the on-board customization, while at home sometimes feels limited, means I could use it with any laptop without having to download anything. It's funny - the reasons I don't like it as my everyday driver are the same reasons I love it so much for travel! Oh, and it is solid as a rock. Weighty without being too heavy. The blues come with the gunmetal edge.

KellyHI didn't get mine on Massdrop, but I totally agree! It's perfect with my surface pro 2 tablet (which has pretty bad keyboard options otherwise) the USB is in just the right place on the left side, i'm going to modify an extra mini usb cable to be only 5-6 inches long and it will be perfect for travel. I got mine with MX black switches and blue o-ring dampers for nearly silent and enjoyable travel typing.
The mouse functionality is great too. It's not a perfect mouse, but I find that it's sufficient to use if I don't have another one handy and it's even better than a regular mouse when only mousing straight up or down (thanks reddit with hoverzoom) or when using the scroll keys. It's nice to be able to do that easily with my hands still on the keyboard.
At first I was a little concerned about the bezel because everyone says it looks so huge compared to other 60% keyboards. But I think it fits the keyboard very well, I don't find it too big at all and it's nice to have that edge to grab instead of having to mash some of the keys or hold it like a fancy dinner tray all the time.

Bobby9265I agree about the bezel. At first I kind of wished I had purchased a Poker 2, with no bezel, but I don't mind it. Especially in the darker gunmetal color.
