It does but the shape was as bad as the mush and best as I can tell they are still smaller. I think I would still take the new layout over it. The 360 does have macro key which you can map to common function keys if you really don’t want to layer the function row.

I actually got the non-pro model specifically cause I found the Bluetooth silly. At the same time the lack of a function row on this serves two purposes.
First, if you look at the advantage the function keys were membrane and were not good to use. The style of keyboard makes it hard to have a lot depth on the keyboard so it’s safer to just cut the row off now and use layers.
Second, it literally saves you a whole row of mechanical switches which by itself is a large savings in any board.
