Features
The Kinesis Advantage2 Quiet LF is a premium ergonomic keyboard designed to maximize comfort and productivity for both Windows and Mac users. Featuring Kinesis’s patented Contoured design, this keyboard is equipped with low-force Cherry MX Quiet Red mechanical switches, which offer a linear feel and sound-dampening, making them ideal for quieter work environments. Additionally, the function keys utilize Cherry ML low-force switches, and the iconic home row keys are presented in Kinesis Blue.
Built to prioritize ergonomics, the Advantage2’s concave keywells reduce finger extension and strain, while the split keywell design positions arms shoulder-width apart, promoting a neutral wrist alignment. Vertical column key arrangement mirrors natural finger movements, and a 20-degree “tenting” angle encourages a handshake posture to alleviate forearm stress. Integrated palm supports, complete with cushioned pads, provide comfortable resting spots for hands, and the thumb clusters handle frequently-used keys to ease the workload on smaller fingers.
The Advantage2 Quiet LF, with its compact footprint, removes the numeric keypad to allow closer mouse positioning, reducing overreach. Featuring the SmartSet Programming Engine, the Advantage2 offers powerful customization tools to optimize workflow and boost productivity, making it a top choice for users seeking a quiet, highly ergonomic keyboard solution.
