Features

The Kinesis Advantage2 Keyboard is a high-performance ergonomic keyboard designed to enhance comfort and productivity for Windows and Mac users. Featuring Kinesis’s patented Contoured design, it integrates low-force Cherry MX Brown mechanical switches, offering a tactile feel with feedback that cues activation, reducing the need for hard impacts. Function keys have been upgraded with Cherry ML low-force switches, and the signature home row keys come in Kinesis Blue for added visual appeal.

The Advantage2’s ergonomic features include concave keywells that reduce finger strain, split keywells positioned at shoulder-width for proper arm alignment, and a unique “tenting” angle of 20 degrees that promotes a natural, handshake-like wrist position. This design, along with vertical columns that match natural finger motion, helps reduce wrist strain and ulnar deviation. Integrated palm supports with cushioned pads provide resting spots for hands, and the thumb clusters handle frequently-used keys like Enter, Space, and Delete, redistributing the workload to stronger thumbs.

With a compact footprint that eliminates the numeric keypad, the Advantage2 allows for closer mouse placement, reducing overreach. Powered by the SmartSet Programming Engine, it provides powerful customization options, letting users create personalized layouts and macros to streamline their workflow. Ideal for users seeking both ergonomic comfort and productivity enhancements, the Advantage2 combines durability, comfort, and flexibility.
