Grey and clicky? Grey tactile, not grey linear. I prefer linear for quiet and smooth. The Cherry grey requires twice the force of Cherry red. I think I would test drive the Pi 500+ before deciding on the key action as force and noise differ across manufacturers and is not always the same as the Cherry reference keys.
Is there a nice easy interface to set the backlight to a colour, something similar to setting the screen background colour when you get rid of the distracting image?
I do not know what I would do with the supplied SSD when I replace it with a decent capacity SSD. If it is 2230, I could put it in a mini enclosure and hang it on my keyring.
Overall, it is a good step forward for students moving up from microSD speed to full speed. When they graduate from kindergarten and move into the big school, evolving from Tux Paint to Blender.![Very Happy :D]()
