Kinesis Keyboard Unboxing Gallery












The keyboard is extremely light! I like it light! In comparison, the Truly Ergonomic Keyboard is about 2 to 3 times as heavy.





- The Backspace is where my thumb rests on.
- Next easy key is the ⌦ Delete, require moving my thumb to hit.
- Next, the Ctrl and End are somewhat a tie for me. To hit Ctrl, i kinda move my whole hand up a bit. To hit End, i stretch my thumb.
- Next, that Home position is next easy key.
- The most hard-to-reach position is the Alt.
the keyboard is fantastic. I adopted right away, no learning time. This review, gallery, is typed on this keyboard. (got the keyboard 6 hours ago.)
i had 3 years typing on the Truly Ergonomic Keyboard (TEK), but have never used bowl-shaped before.
compared to the TEK, immediately, the thumb keys are a BIG plus. Now you have lots of keys at your remapping disposal.
also, the bowl shaped keys, are indeed more comfortable. I was afraid somehow i might not like the bowl shape. It worked out well.
the SmartSet key on-the-fly macro engine of the Advantage2 is fantastic. I've already remapped several keys as i adjust it for Emacs: Xah Fly Keys.
i'm using this on linux. Plug and play. No driver/software needed.
This is the first-day review.
