Kinesis KB600-UK Advantage2 Keyboard - Contoured Ergonomic UK Layout Keyboard Equipped with Cherry MX Brown Mechanical Key Switches and The SmartSet Programming Engine - Black

[ Reduce Typing Muscle Stress ] Concave keywells are scooped into a bowl shape to reduce hand and finger extension and relax muscles. Separating the keywells positions the arms at shoulder-width to keep wrists straight and perpendicular to the home row to reduce abduction and ulnar deviation.

[ A Natural Typing Position ] The keys are arranged in vertical columns (rather than staggered) to better reflect the natural motion of your fingers. The two keywells are “tented” at an optimal 20 degree angle moderately raising the thumb side of the hand. Tenting puts you in a more neutral, “handshake” posture and reduces the stresses caused by forearm pronation.

[ Convenience In Mind ] The integrated palm supports reduce stressful bending of the wrists and provide a convenient place to rest your hands when you are not actively typing. Self-adhesive, cushioned palm pads (included) can be attached for maximum comfort. The thumb clusters include frequently-used keys such as Enter, Space, Backspace, and Delete to redistribute the workload away from your relatively weaker and overused little fingers to stronger thumbs. The Advantage2 may look big, but it actually has a smaller footprint than most keyboards because we eliminated the numeric 10-key so you can place the mouse closer to your body, reducing painful “over-reach”.

[ Tactile Key Switches ] The Advantage2 (KB600 model) utilizes the Cherry MX Brown stem low-force tactile key switches. “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.

[ SmartSet Programming Engine ] Allows you to customize the keyboard’s layout without installing any clunky software or special drivers. Works on all major operating systems and enables users to easily create, view, edit, share, and backup their custom layouts. Dual-Layer layouts with secondary actions embedded in the “Keypad” layer. 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. All settings are saved to the keyboard’s 4MB flash memory.
