Been using this for a while now, had a kinesis advantage 2 but wanted more customisation without paying a premium for the new advantage 360.

There’s no led lighting so the battery lasts forever. Haven’t timed it but reckon I get at least a month out of it coding 8 hours a day

      Is quite portable, more so than the Kinesis advantage I was using.

      I’ve got a laptop rucksack and its fine to dump it in there. Haven’t had any issues with it.

      One day I’ll get round to modding in an on/off switch to disconnect the battery but today is not that day.

      For a size guide, this is how it stacks up against a corne which was my travel board (mouse for scale):

        Thanks so much for the picture.

        I was thinking of getting a wireless Corne or a Ferris sweep as a travel board. How do you like the dactyl in comparison?
