Pros and Trade-offs

The TH99 Pro is the definitive upgrade, justifying its cost with practical features like the screen, knob, huge battery, and lighter build. Choose the standard TH99 if you want the same productive 96% layout and gasket-mounted sound at a lower price, and can forgo the extra amenities. For most users, the Pro's enhancements offer tangible daily benefits.
