Is there any disadvantage running a k64 as 4 single k16?
Ok you need 4 USB-cable but is there a speed decrease?
Not different. a k64 is just 4 k16, not cut up into 4 boards but kept as 1. They are connected between each board, not by usb but by a ribbon cable. All you will need is one usb cable, and i think you can connect/chain up to 8 boards in one ribbon cable or was it even 16 boards.
