Kinesis Advantage2 Ergonomic Keyboard (KB600)

Kinesis Advantage2 Ergonomic Keyboard (KB600)
As the market leader in computer ergonomics, Kinesis has been designing and building premium-grade ergonomic keyboards for more than 25 years. The new Advantage2 features our patented Contoured keyboard design and low-force mechanical key switches to address the major risk factors associated with keyboarding for maximum comfort. With the all-new SmartSetTM Programming Engine, Advantage2 features powerful programming tools designed to let you customize the keyboard to boost your productivity.
The Advantage2 features low-force Cherry MX Brown tactile mechanical key switches, the rubber function keys (found on the original Advantage) have been replaced with Cherry ML low-force, tactile mechanical key switches, and our signature home row keys are in the new Kinesis Blue.
The Advantage2 is available with a standard US layout or German, Swedish, Japanese and UK country-specific layouts (see image gallery for layouts). Ergonomic Features 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.

The keys are arranged in

vertical columns

(rather than staggered) to better reflect the natural motion of your fingers.

The two keywells are Àœ

tented

À at an optimal 20 degree angle moderately raising the thumb side of the hand. Tenting puts you in a more neutral, ÀœhandshakeÀ posture and reduces the stresses caused by forearm pronation.

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 Àœover-reachÀ.
