So, if I read this thread carefully, this Freestyle Edge is essentially identical to the Freestyle Pro, except that it has LEDs, a set of backlit gaming keycaps, included palm rests, and your choice of Cherry switches if you don't like the Brown; in addition, it does not include Mac keycaps (presumeably because they've not yet made backlit versions).
Thus, if I'm a Mac owner, this keyboard, at this price, especially if I snag accessories, is a serious bargain; with the caveat I will have to seek out custom Mac backlit keycaps, and I might want to swap out more than just the Windows keys; and I might not like the high-profile, cheaper ABS feel of these key caps; correct?
(My Apple Adjustable ADB (split/ergo) from 1995 is finally giving up the ghost; I'm loathe to learn a new key pattern at my advanced age, but even a used board in good condition is probably silly at this point. From limited testing, the Cherry Brown has a comparable stroke and feel to that era of Apple keys.)
