Kinesis Advantage2 Keyboard

The Advantage2 is a contoured keyboard designed to provide maximum comfort and productivity for Windows and Mac users.  Equipped with Cherry MX Brown mechanical key switches and the SmartSet Programming Engine.

A Market Leader in Computer Ergonomics

The Advantage2 features the patented Contoured keyboard design and low-force mechanical key switches to address the major risk factors associated with keyboarding for maximum comfort.

With the SmartSetTM Progaramming Engine, Advantage2 features powerful programming tools designed so users can customise the keyboard to boost productivity.

Mechanical Key Switches

The Advantaged utilizes the Cherry MX Brown stem low-force tactile switch.  "Tactility" is a slightly elevated force around the midpoint of the stroke of the key which lets you know the switch is about to be activated.  A tactile response is preferred by many ergonomists because it cues your fingers that activation is about to occur, and can reduce the frequency of "bottoming out" the switch with a hard impact.

Smaller Footprint 

The Advantage 2 may look big, but it actually has a smaller footprint than a traditional keyboard and even many “ergonomic” keyboards because we eliminated the numeric 10-key.  A smaller footprint lets you place the mouse closer to your body, reducing painful “over-reach”.  To satisfy number crunchers, we embedded a traditional 10-key in the right key well.  We also offer a standalone low-force mechanical keypad which allows you to position it where you want it and move it out of the way when not in use.

SmartSet

The fully programmable Advantage2 features Kinesis's SmartSet Programming Engine which 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 using convenient onboard shortcuts.  SmartSet works on all major operating systems and enables the users to easily create, view, edit, share, and backup their custom layouts.

• Dual-Layer layouts with secondary actions embedded in the "Keypad" layer
• US Version: Windows/Mac/PC Switchable (extra keycaps included)
• International Versions: Extra Windows keycap included
• One-touch, onboard key remapping so you can customize the layout to suit your typing style and preferences
• Heavy-duty, on-the-fly macros up to 300 characters long.  Choose from 9 playback speeds and add timing delays to ensure proper playback.
• Native Dvorak layout which can be customized independently of the default QWERTY layout
• All settings are saved to the keyboard's 4MB flash memory
