Satanic keyboard from outer space
Amazing keyboard, as expected. It is, of course, extremely difficult to get used to its weird button positions, especially Space, Enter, CTRL etc. I've been using it for about 20 days now and I still need practice. It's way lighter than I expected, but its body feels sturdy. The keys are extremely comfortable, and very easy to press.

Ergonomics Not For The Everyday User
After research I decided to give this ergonomic keyboard a try, it's a pretty steep curve almost as if learning to type again. It's very over priced MSRP is $319 (eBay price $240). I have large hands I can't speak much to design, but it's turning out not to be for me. The thing was designed for "coder's" not the semi-pro typist type such as myself. I'll most likely be looking for a more conventional ergonomic keyboard.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Keyboard To Fell In Love With
The keyboard arrived in an ideal condition. Everything provided by the manufacturer was included into the package: keyboard itself, palm pads, extra four Mac & PC specific keycaps, keycap removal tool, quick start guide. It was a nice surprise to see the cover is not just boring plain black, but more like a very dark graphite with some nice looking and feeling finish, the close photo of which I'm attaching. Though, in comparison with my previous version gray Advantage Pro, on this cover, fat from the fingers is unexpectedly clearly visible within 5-10 minutes of usage. Though not big deal, I might be considering to put some nice colored custom finish on it with time. Overall impression in comparison with the previous Kinesis Advantage generation is good, mostly thanks to an improved keys and macros programming approach. The cable quality, unfortunately, has worsen. The highest row keys are now a good quality Cherry ML with an added tactile strip on each even key, which makes them usable with blind typing. I've been missing it a lot on the previous version! In conclusion, in my opinion, this is a great and unique truly ergonomic keyboard, advisable for buying, especially if you're typing a lot.

great ergonomic keyboard - still the best layout as of 2020
in comparison with more modern split keyboard, kinesis advantage still has an edge in the overall design - if you look carefully at all newer design: they are essentially the same layout as this one, with added newer mechanical key-switches etc (such as ergodox, moonlander etc.) The only things I hope kinesis can improve: 1. modern keyswitches, such as gateron optical yellow 2. more customizable software with additional meta keys/layers to be like the "planck" keyboard with many layers to configure. 3. Add-on modules such as a trackball at the empty space between the thumb clusters (like keymouse). With such a size/space, it really asks for improvement/additional functionality for kinesis keyboard!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Worth buying if you need proper ergonomics
+ Great typing experience, the ergonomics are easy to see and feel + Good tactile feel in the keys + Not as wide as I thought, though it is quite a bit taller than most keyboards + Light weight, great when carrying around + Rebindable keys work great + Makes angy sound when you hit Caps lock - Significant learning curve, but within 1-2 weeks of use I'm pretty much back to where I was - Missing my Alt Gr key - Fingermarks - Expensive, only get if you really need it - Arrow keys are really easy to hit by accident - The chassis feels a bit cheap, hollow plasticVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Outstanding for touch type
This keyboard is something you love or hate. It gives unique experience. Keep in mind that it was designed for typing text and not something else. You should be able to touch type to fully utilize it, you will find it inconvenient in other case. And still it to It takes some time to get accustomed to. At first I even panicked a little. It took about one week for me to get used to it and now I can't imagine how I was able to use standard keyboards. It so comfortable I can't believe in it. It was huge amount of money for me and still I think it worth every penny.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Awesome after you're used to it.
Sophisticated design. Very different than any other keyboard I've ever used. The "getting used to it" period is frustrating and longer than I expected, but as I get used to it the ease and short reach for each finger is impressive and I'll be keeping it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Fantastic keyboard!
This is an amazing keyboard once you get used to it. It's designed to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome so you use your thumbs to space and backspace. once you are on to that, it's great!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

feels amazing on hands/wrists
love this thing to death! very helpful for treating carpal tunnel pain/tingling. I think if the price was only $200 a lot more people would buy it. I almost didn't, but I was desperate.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
