I definitely recommend buying, I didn't notice any disadvantages.

The new keyboard has a different, rougher plastic (still great), and a new Logitech logo instead of the old embossed image. These are the only two notable differences between the new keyboard and its predecessor.

The small left shift does not in any way present a challenge; nevertheless, the button that is located next to it can be remapped if you would prefer not to become accustomed to it. Also, users who are accustomed to keyboards with higher keys or mechanics may find the layout of this keyboard to be unsatisfactory. I believe that it's a matter of getting into a routine.

In addition, those who enjoy being creative and/or using layouts with many colors have the ability to modify the backlight of the keyboard or individual letters by using a pen.

It is best to clean the keyboard frequently and carefully with a can of compressed air, without disassembling it, as the clips are quite delicate and may contain surprises. Cleaning the keyboard is best done without disassembling it.

You can put the keyboard on the top edge of the K800i and lock it in place with its feet. This is one of the advantages of using a wireless device, which also allows you to stow it anywhere you need to free up space on your desktop. However, the design of the K800i also allows for vertical storage.

Pros

It's been over five, maybe even seven years since I first got one of these keyboards, and I honestly can't remember when I first purchased it. I use it almost every day. It was entirely my fault that the previous one passed away, so I went out and purchased a replacement a few years back. This week, I went out and purchased a third copy of the book—this time, for a woman. I currently work as a screenwriter, so I put a lot of words on paper. The keyboard functions without a hitch. Full-size, with a nice palm rest, silent and pleasant pressing, tactile notches on the F/A and J/O keys for touch typing, easy buttons for calling up the calculator and controlling the volume, as well as additional helpful settings accessible through the Function button. The keyboard has a straightforward and uncluttered appearance; it is a gorgeous and sophisticated piece of hardware that, when placed in an equally straightforward and uncluttered setting, will appear quite hip and trendy. Both automatically (the sensor finds the ideal settings based on the light in the room) and manually (the user presses a button to override the sensor's recommendations) the backlight adjusts in response to the presentation of hands. The wireless connection enables you to watch TV shows from the comfort of your couch by allowing you to switch episodes, voice tracks, and subtitles. If you are familiar with the hotkeys of your operating system and applications, you also have access to a wide variety of additional options. It is important to point out that the keyboard has a universal receiver, which allows you to connect a suitable wireless mouse to it. If you do this, working from the couch will not require you to memorize any hotkeys at all. And it does all of this while maintaining a lengthy battery life. Separately, I want to make mention of the off button. There are two cats in the house, and both of them consider my workplace (including myself) to be their property. Because of this, the off button helps protect you from accidental paw touches and allows you to give your pet the necessary attention it requires. Despite the fact that the cost is very prohibitive, the keyboard performs admirably and is well worth the investment even now.

Cons

Flaws of a very minor nature. If you want to view the light that signals the inclusion, you have to bend over the keyboard on a modern keyboard because the green diode of the Caps Lock key is positioned quite low down on the keypad. It is possible that this is the result of a small rubber pad, the objective of which is to restrict the amount of green light emitted by the diode; on the older model, if my recollection serves me correctly, there was no such issue; however, on that model, this component peeled off and moved to the side. Unfortunately, there is no way to verify the hypothesis with this keyboard, as it does not function properly. This keyboard is laced with kryptonite, which is the second fly in the ointment. These are liquids. If even a trace amount of water gets into the keyboard, it has the potential to short-circuit, which will cause it to start typing the wrong letters. This will continue until it is completely dry. I filled in the first copy multiple times (and was very scared the first time when she started acting weird), but after some time everything returned to normal steadily. The issues only began after an almost full can of beer was dropped on the keyboard. And even after that, she worked for approximately another six months; the only reason I purchased a new one was because one of the keys stopped being pressed in the typical manner. Because of this, if you are not extremely careful, it is best to keep an old keyboard on hand or get a second inexpensive keyboard, because after flooding the K800i, it is highly possible that you will not be able to use it for a period of time.
