Review on Kinesis Advantage2 Silver Ergonomic Keyboard (KB605) by Matt Ellis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The keyboard is excellent, but not for small hands

Ergonomic solution. My hands are tiny so it wasn't very good to work with. I ended up just tensing my fingers in new and unusual ways. It's a solid keyboard, it doesn't make any loud clicks, it uses just the right amount of pressure, and it even has little rubber feet to keep it from moving and scratching things. .Even the 10 key feature was well worked out and it was the least difficult learning curve lol. There is a learning curve, but it is not difficult for any good typist to overcome. Although I had trouble accessing some keys, it basically took me about an hour to make the basic changes. For those who are curious, the hardest part was really just having a gap on one side. I'm just too used to being able to switch thumbs for that. I didn't try to reassign as it just wouldn't work for me in the long run so there was nothing there. I have a computer and it was just plug and play with no problems. A word of caution if you're putting it on a keyboard tray - it's quite large and unlikely to fit. Measure carefully. Hope this is useful for someone!

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Nothing special, everything is good
