There's been tons of keyboard shortcut changes throughout the X series. Not sure how many between X3 and Sonar Platinum.

Easy enough to check with the manuals.

SONAR and MS Word were the two applications I was thinking of that went out of their way to inconvenience speed-keyboardists.

This is the main reason I'd never buy something like this. Shortcuts change all the time. $10 for stickers won't bother me if things change, but the cost of this thing is way over the top to begin with. If shortcuts change or get added, I'd be pissed. Even with the ability to manually change them

What would you improve?

The major cost would surely be down to the keyboard being backlit. A $10 set of stickers to update the keys if necessary wouldn't be too bad.

I just read the write up on this keyboard and it mentions Sonar X3e as well as Sonar Artist, Professional and Platinum so obviously the keyboard shortcuts between these versions hasn't changed. Great news but now they want $129.99. Pretty steep price.
