Review on ๐Ÿ’ป Kinesis Advantage2 Ergonomic Keyboard (KB600) - Black Top Case, Cherry MX Brown Switches, QWERTY Keycaps by Tony Meyer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great keyboard!

The keyboard is excellent. I suffer from tingling in my wrists and thumb joints (I'm a mobile developer and spend at least 8 hours a day on the keyboard, sometimes up to 16). After a day on this keyboard I had no more tingling or pain. As soon as I go back to the old keyboards, the pain returns. There's definitely a learning curve and I'm still not up to my full typing speed after a few weeks. Coding is the hardest part as you are using keys that you wouldn't use in normal typing and they are really a far cry from what they were on my old keyboard. However, remapping this keyboard is very simple, so you can customize it to suit your needs. I've already remapped the arrow keys to make the selection more intuitive for me. The only thing I don't like about this keyboard is the price as I would love to have one in my house but just don't want to spend $600 on a keyboard for a month so I'll have to wait.

Pros
  • Excellent price
Cons
  • Long delivery time
