It took me a while of using the Prime before I noticed that there was an i on Shift + 2. I had been using lower-case i. I suppose it is not completely redundant as it provides some consistency in key strokes between Home and CAS. Lower-case i requires a shift in Home but not in CAS.

There is a similar issue with e. On the Npsire, there are 4 different e's: lower-case e, upper-case E, scientific notation E, and the constant e, and they are all distinct. The Prime has three e's but they seem to be at least partially interchangeable.
1.23e4 = 1.23E4 = 1.234E4 = 12300. I got snagged on this once when I tried to calculate something like 2*e^3 but tried to use implied multiplication 2e^3 and got a syntax error that I incorrectly thought was a bug.

Similar issue with the negative character and subtraction character.
