Type 6 Type 7
No longer manufactured Currently being sold
No USB ports on keyboard Two USB ports on top and 1 on bottom
Not ROHS compliant ROHS Compliant

Other than the general different in the shape of the keyboards, some systems need newer firmware to recognize Type 7 keyboards.

I like the Type 7 keyboard especially now that I'm used to it.
Particularly nice is the Type 7 mouse which is an optical scroll mouse.

Thanks for reply. I have an Ultra 40 that needs Type 7 keyboard.
I too noticed big difference between older mechanical type mouse
and the newer optical scroll mouse.

I'd say better haptics. You more or less can forget about the useless
usb-hub in the type 7, which was for me one of the initial buying points...
