The menus were reorganized into 2 columns of 3 items to match the position of the 3 keys left and right of the cursor. Those keys become 6 menu keys, then the CAS key switches which menu gets the hard keys (menu 1 or 2). If you look at the picture carefully, you'll see one menu has brighter horizontal lines, that's the visual hint indicating the keys activate that menu.
Unfortunately, the Prime has less keys than the 50g so we cannot find 6 more keys to have both menus operating with hard keys, but the touchscreen compensates by allowing you to use either menu with your finger.

I'm not 100% sure on the current layout, I might move the status area to the center to make the position of the menu match the layout of the keys (but then the other menu will be split, we'll have an inner menu and an outer menu, not sure about that either).

Interesting... My initial thought was that the split menu might make sense visually, but hard to say without experiencing it firsthand.
