I liked their previous low profile keyboard and like these also.
Now I just wish that Cherry Silent keys become standard, because I hate the typing noise, and my microphone also does My Logitech 810 is more silent than true Cherry equiped keyboards, but still anything but really silent.

Back to the product, I would add 2 USB ports ( mouse + pendrive) and indicate it's position better (looks like it will be hard to catch the port here...)
