My Top 3 Priorities are : 1) Performance 2) Portability 3) Form. I am in graduate school (law) and will be using this in professional settings so I would like it to not have any of the typical gamer flair (multi-color LED, graphic logos, bright colors etc...) with respect to form. It is going to be used plenty for note taking so a well-built and feeling keyboard is important. I am really looking for something adaptable that will suit me in the long haul.
