   I'm seriously considering it, only found out about it the other   
   day. Incidentally i was considering doing a jimmy rig of a wireless full   
   keyboard with a 3d printed bottom shell for my pi500. The pi400 is long   
   gone. I took the mobo out and ceremoniously destroyed the keyboard. It's   
   dust.   
      
   The 500's keyboard is 90% better. THe spacebar is still a hunk of shit.   
      
   I'm sort of nervous that the 500+'s spacebar is junk. Will it register a   
   keypress if the thumb hits it on the far side? I don't know.   
      
   I do like the nvme addition. If you read the most current copy of   
   raspberry pi magazine, they go into detail about it, as well as an   
   interview with the engineers who designed it.   
      
   What bugs me is their intention to customize their keycaps and insist on   
   a custom power button that most other keycap replacements lack. That,   
   and nonstandard buttons for led controls, etc.   
      
   They brag about being able to replace the keys, but can't replace them   
   all. The enter key is also non-standard and replacement keys have to be   
   fenagled to fit right.   
      
   I sort of hesitate on getting the 500+. I saw somewhere a kit can be   
   installed under the keys to make them less clacky. Any truth to that?
