Box Contains 1x Kinesis Advantage2 UK keyboard

Review: Still the best ergo keyboard I've used - Unsure if desertcart will accept this, since I bought my original Advantage directly from Kinesis back in 2005. But after 17 years of daily professional use, the Escape key finally died. To be fair that's a LOT of keypresses from constant vi use. An expensive keyboard, but I can't complain at the longevity. I've used dozens of ergo keyboards over the years ... and I still always come back to the Advantage. It's the best designed, and is incredibly robst (survived the coffee "incident" of 2007 - the moulded body comfortable holds an entire large mug, if you're curious). Lots of others seem like they should be better - the Keyboardio and Ergodox come close, but they're just not as comfortable for sustained use.
Review: Comfortable Keyboard, needs time to get used to - The keyboard feels very natural and requires minimal arm movement. To use it efficiently you really need to be able to touch type without looking at the keys. It takes some time getting used to the layout and switching to for example using only the right hand thumb to press space bar. A slightly disappointing that there were no macOS key caps included, although Kinesis tech support offered to send me a set for free if I paid for the shipping cost, so if it's important for you - get in touch with the company.

## Features

- ✅ [ Reduce Typing Muscle Stress ] Concave keywells are scooped into a bowl shape to reduce hand and finger extension and relax muscles. Separating the keywells positions the arms at shoulder-width to keep wrists straight and perpendicular to the home row to reduce abduction and ulnar deviation.
- ✅ [ A Natural Typing Position ] The keys are arranged in vertical columns (rather than staggered) to better reflect the natural motion of your fingers. The two keywells are “tented” at an optimal 20 degree angle moderately raising the thumb side of the hand. Tenting puts you in a more neutral, “handshake” posture and reduces the stresses caused by forearm pronation.
- ✅ [ Convenience In Mind ] The integrated palm supports reduce stressful bending of the wrists and provide a convenient place to rest your hands when you are not actively typing. Self-adhesive, cushioned palm pads (included) can be attached for maximum comfort. The thumb clusters include frequently-used keys such as Enter, Space, Backspace, and Delete to redistribute the workload away from your relatively weaker and overused little fingers to stronger thumbs. The Advantage2 may look big, but it actually has a smaller footprint than most keyboards because we eliminated the numeric 10-key so you can place the mouse closer to your body, reducing painful “over-reach”.
- ✅ [ Tactile Key Switches ] The Advantage2 (KB600 model) utilizes the Cherry MX Brown stem low-force tactile key switches. “Tactility” is a slightly elevated force around the midpoint of the stroke of the key which lets you know the switch is about to be activated. A tactile response is preferred by many ergonomists, because it cues your fingers that activation is about to occur and can reduce the frequency of “bottoming out” the switch with a hard impact.
- ✅ [ SmartSet Programming Engine ] Allows you to customize the keyboard’s layout without installing any clunky software or special drivers. Works on all major operating systems and enables users to easily create, view, edit, share, and backup their custom layouts. Dual-Layer layouts with secondary actions embedded in the “Keypad” layer. One-touch, onboard key remapping so you can customize the layout to suit your typing style and preferences. Heavy-duty, on-the-fly macros up to 300 characters long. Choose from 9 playback speeds and add timing delays to ensure proper playback. All settings are saved to the keyboard’s 4MB flash memory.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I take a glove size 7 (eu) - so i'm guessing that's mid-range and ok?**
A: Yes, it seems to be designed for medium hands -- or maybe slightly larger, seeing as the thumb clusters seem best for larger hands. But it can work for most sizes as the layout is easily customizable.

**Q: Can I customise the (# and $) buttons on the US keyboard to match a UK keyboard (£ and $)?

Asking as the UK keyboard is a lot cheaper!**
A: Yes, you can easily customise any button (except the Program button I believe.) The keyboard has an user-friendly app which lets you simply select the desired key and enter the key you want to replace it with. And it allows you to save multiple layouts and bind them to shortcuts, so you could for example switch back and forth between a US and a UK layout by pressing (Program + 1) and (Program + 2) or Program + whichever number/letter you wish to use.

**Q: Do you also offer the same 60-day risk-free trial as offered by Kinesis?**
A: It allows you to assign any key position to any key, so yes you could.

**Q: Can you change the qwerty over to dvorak on all versions? 
it comes in different versions, why if they’re interchangeable.**
A: You should be able to switch every key (except Program) on all versions. The layout you buy is simply cosmetic - if you're touch-typing it shouldn't really matter. I am using qwerty keyboard with almost every key switched and it's fine (except when other people try to use the keyboard).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still the best ergo keyboard I've used
*by D***S on 23 September 2022*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comfortable Keyboard, needs time to get used to

### ⭐ Poor thumb key positions, poor build quality.
*by M***N on 19 January 2022*

For an emacs user like me, this keyboard makes it super-hard to press alt+ctrl+shift+5 for query-replace-regexp because alt, ctrl, shift are now thumb keys, and I only have 2 thumbs (but i can press these 4 keys with my left hand only on a plain qwerty keyboard). Just alt+ctrl is difficult because it requires 2 thumbs, or hitting both keys with one thumb which is even more difficult. The locations of thumb buttons are such that one needs to extend the thumb farthest to reach ctrl or alt, which requires an elbow move and rotating the wrist outwards, which displaces your typing fingers off the target key, defeating the main purpose and benefit of this keyboard. I have fairly long fingers and use only the largest screen size phones. I have observed 4 people loving and enjoying the keyboard, but for me its thumb keys are impossible to reach and use without repositioning the main typing 4 fingers. Build quality-wise, the keyboard looks, feels and sounds like a cheap piece of plastic built in early 2000s. It shouldn't cost more than £100, which is still generous for it. Had to return it.
