If you have the C16 now and want it metal on top, bigger base, and you want a left pinky the Gen 2 is a nice all metal upgrade for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do wish it had a different name though&#8230; The M is for metal and the next is the model M Plus, M Lite, M Ultra. The reason I wish it had a unique M name is the spacing is more of a C than a S like the Gen 1 and the Gen 2 has the left pinky like the R. So it is it&#8217;s unique layout and not just the same pad with an extra button. What name IDK M Omega, M Left, M IDK.. but a new M name would definitely apply to this pad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The spacing on the S is the tightest spacing. The T is the widest spacing and large keycaps and the C is in the middle more standard layout but very much like the S but slightly wider spacing. The Gen 2 is a nice option weather you have the C or the R or the M Ultra Gen 1 now. Just keep in mind the M Ultra Gen 1 is slightly tighter spacing for those that like a tighter feel and the Gen 2 is slightly wider as their are rings going around each keycap for lighting. You need space for the rings to fit so that&#8217;s why you will see a slightly wider spacing. The metal base makes the switches feel snappy no matter what switch you put on this pad. I think anyone picking up this pad will like it. The paint job feels better on the Gen 1 in my opinion but I&#8217;m not noticing any issues, feels a lot like the paint job on the M Plus Silver. Wish I had gotten the blue but I hit the wrong button when I ordered so is what it is and still happy with the black. Video with more details below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hope this helps anyone interested or on the fence with this pad make the best decision for them.
