Pretty simple really, which keyboard would you recommend/prefer?

personally, i'd be annoyed if i spent a lot of money on a keyboard just to have the keys fade after like 2 months of use. So the first thing i'd check for is make sure both keyboards have dye sublimated keys. I think both of those keyboards do have versions with dye sublimated keys and versions with laser etched keys; i'd highly recommend dye sublimated keys. Then i would simply go with which has your preferred switch, if you don't know which switch you would prefer, browns is a around good switch for everything or if you have a high budget, topre switches are great. Then if both have your same preferred switch, its simply a matter of whether slightly shorter is more important or independent arrow keys is more important to you. I will admit, after getting a keyboard without independent arrow keys, i definitely miss them a little.
