Kinesis Advantage 2 Keyboard

The fully programmable Advantage2 features Kinesis’s all-new SmartSet Programming Engine that allows you to customize the keyboard’s layout without installing any clunky software or special drivers, or accessing the internet. Record macros, remap keys, and much, much more. SmartSet works on all major operating systems and enables users to easily create, view, edit, share, and backup their custom layouts.

Split Key Wells

Split key wells position hands and arms at shoulder width to reduce ulnar deviation.

Tenting

Tenting elevates the thumbs slightly higher than the pinkies to reduce forearm pronation.

Concave Key Wells

Concave key wells place hands and fingers in a natural, relaxed position to reduce over-extension.

Thumb Keys

Thumb keypads transfer repetitive key strokes from the weaker pinkies to the stronger thumbs.

Vertical Keys

Vertical key layout mirrors the natural motion of your fingers to increase speed and comfort.

Palm Supports

Integrated palm supports and cushioned palm pads reduce harmful wrist extension.

Small Footprint

A smaller footprint reduces painful mouse over-reach. Numeric 10-key embedded in the right key well.

Mechanical Switch

Low-force key switches provide amazing feel and durability. Choose linear Reds or tactile Browns.

Key remapping

The Advantage2 is fully-programmable meaning that you can remap or copy a key to virtually any location on the keyboard. Escape key too far away… move it to tilde. Need a conventional arrow cluster… build it. Even add keys that aren’t on the Advantage2 using most standard Hex codes. The Advantage2 layout adjusts to you.
