## Overview

The Kinesis Advantage2 KB600 is a premium ergonomic keyboard designed to minimize typing strain with its patented contoured, split keywells and tented layout. Featuring low-force Cherry MX Brown tactile mechanical switches, it offers a responsive, fatigue-reducing typing experience. Its SmartSet programming engine allows on-the-fly customization without software, supporting macros and dual-layer layouts. Despite its unique design, it maintains a compact footprint by omitting the numeric keypad, enabling better mouse positioning. Integrated palm supports and thumb clusters further enhance comfort, making it an ideal investment for professionals seeking long-term hand health and productivity.

## Description

As the market leader in computer ergonomics, Kinesis has been designing and building premium-grade ergonomic keyboards for more than 25 years. The new Advantage2 features our patented Contoured keyboard design and low-force mechanical key switches to address the major risk factors associated with keyboarding for maximum comfort. With the all-new SmartSetTM Programming Engine, Advantage2 features powerful programming tools designed to let you customize the keyboard to boost your productivity. The Advantage2 features low-force Cherry MX Brown tactile mechanical key switches, the rubber function keys (found on the original Advantage) have been replaced with Cherry ML low-force, tactile mechanical key switches, and our signature home row keys are in the new Kinesis Blue.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. 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. 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”.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. Function keys use Cherry ML low-force mechanical key switches.

Review: it is expensive but you get what you pay for - This is the only keyboard that has kept RSI away. I am a software developer and I had instant improvement within a single day. Productivity will take a hit until muscle memory catches up.
Review: Broke after six months of use - I bought this keyboard six months ago and it no longer works. The USB cable has broken, in the area where the cable meets the keyboard. There seems to be no easy way to fix it. It's a shame as this was a nice keyboard. There is no warranty so it seems there's nothing I can do. £322 down the drain. Edit: I was able to buy a replacement cable from Kinesis for $20, plus shipping. The keyboard is working fine again.

## Features

- ✅ [ 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a wireless keyboard?**
A: Kinesis offers either a wireless or usb-wired- your choice. This listing specifically you posted on it the usb-wired version.

**Q: Do you honor the same 60 day satisfaction guarantee that the Kinesis web site offers?**
A: Hello K. Criss, we do offer the same 60 day satisfaction guarantee.  Be sure to purchase from Executive Communication Systems on Amazon.  If you have any questions call (800) 644-9525, ext. 101.

**Q: Can you get this keyboard with cherry mx blue switches?**
A: No, this only comes with Cherry Browns or Cherry Reds.

**Q: Does it come with a number pad? What is the best mouse to use with this keyboard?**
A: It comes with a "keypad mode" which you toggle on/off to convert some of the right cluster keys into a numeric keypad. There are two complaints about it i have though (one was reason enough to return it- however I've updated my review to say i might re-buy it again!):
1. the keys are so shallow that the alternative mode designations are very hard to read and see to know where the keypad keys sit or what they are. Not a problem for the number keys as 456 are your middle home keys. But +, -, *, etc.? good luck

2. in KEYPAD mode there is no way to type a zero. How does it happen to have a numeric keypad mode that has no ability to type a zero? (Oh yeah, using the number row key '0' doesn't do it either as KEYPAD mode changes that into a * 

It is #2 that I decided to return the kinesis keyboard. But now, after getting a more standard ergonomic keyboard- it is SO CLEAR just how un-ergonomic everything is compared to a Kinesis- so I almost immediately want to get it back and just use the number row keys and give up the numeric keypad function. So yea.. i'm pretty sure i'm now going to return this ergonomic keyboard and re-order the Kinesis... I'll give it 2 more days to see how this one works.

### ⭐⭐ Review
*by T***R on 13 December 2022*

Un diseño fuera de serie en la búsqueda de un teclado ergonómico que reduzca las dolencias y malestares de quienes pasan muchas horas tecleando textos. Sin embargo, lo devolveré, porque en mi opinión, dado su diseño curvo, las teclas tienen una posición inusual, por no decir extraña, por lo que se tiene que reaprender la posición de las teclas para llegar a dominar este teclado. Tengo 50 años y empezar de nuevo significaría una preocupación, más que un apoyo.
