Paul,

If you are completely comfortable with mouse tuning and Win4K3, then you 
may not find any advantage for the K-Pod.
I do not like mouse tuning, and am more comfortable with a tuning knob.
Having the knob next to the keyboard is especially nice if you are 
mainly using the keyboard - you do not have to move very far from the 
keyboard to get to the knob.  The K-Pod can be placed either to the left 
or right of the keyboard.
The buttons on the K-Pod can activate up to 16 K3 macros.  K3 Utility 
now allows 16 macros to be created/edited and stored in the K3.

73,
Don W3FPR
