Why the Kinesis Advantage2?

Maximum comfort

The Advantage2 series from Kinesis has been designed based on 25 years of experience in building ergonomic keyboards. The design, in combination with the so-called tactile mechanical keys, aims to combat the risks associated with prolonged keyboard use by offering maximum comfort.

The keyboard is shaped in such a way that the arms are at shoulder width and the wrists remain in a natural posture. Furthermore, the included palm rests minimise tension on the wrists, and relatively many keys are operated with the thumbs to relieve the weaker little finger. The contoured design also provides much more relaxation for the fingers because the keys are closer together.

Attributes

The inside of the Advantage2 is at least as extensive as the outside. Firstly, the keyboard is equipped with Cherry MX Brown tactile mechanical keys. These have low resistance when pressed and "warn" you when you have almost pressed the key by offering a little resistance. This prevents you from pressing the keys unnecessarily far down.

The keyboard also features Kinesis' new programming system, which allows you to reprogram the keys to your own preference. The great thing about it is that this program is embedded in the keyboard and its 4MB memory card. This means you don't need to install any additional software on your computer; you do everything directly from the keyboard.

What makes an ergonomic keyboard so good?

Anyone who performs a lot of computer work knows that it can be strenuous for your wrists, shoulders, back, and neck. A good keyboard can help you with this. The Kinesis, for example, has a unique design for maximum comfort. The keys are also extra easy to press. Furthermore, you can place your mouse close to the keyboard. All of this is to minimise muscle tension, thereby preventing or reducing injuries.

Get the most out of this product

The Kinesis Advantage2 not only has many options but also types completely differently from other keyboards. Therefore, take your time to fully get used to the typing method. Furthermore, create macros if you type a lot of the same (sections of) text. With these, you can conjure up entire sections of text with a key combination (for example: Shift+H).

Don't miss this either

If you prefer visual guidance when programming the keys, you can open the SmartSet App directly from the keyboard. In it, you can view keyboard layouts, add and adjust macros, and change your keyboard settings.
