KINESIS Advantage360 Professional Split Ergonomic Keyboard - Bluetooth | Mechanical Switches | Fully Programmable Open Source | Contoured Shape | Adjustable Tenting | Backlit

It took me ~ a month to get used to the keyboard, but now I love it. Something that it pushed me to do is to use right fingers to type certain keys. Also I feel a bit more efficient after I started to use VIM motions with the keyboard almost everywhere - magic.

This keyboard is awesome! I've gone through a bunch of other keyboards over the years from cheap Dell ones, Keychron mechanical keyboards (great keyboards for normal layouts), Unicomp IBM Model M and was skeptical at first about this, primarily as I've never touch-typed.. can type fast with numerous fingers but mostly looked at the keyboard. This Kinesis has taught me to touch type too now, within a few weeks. I remapped a few of the keys due to programming needs, but it's so comfy and allows me to sit in a better position. It's not cheap, bit if you're looking for a split ergo keyboard, I'd highly recommend it!

This keyboard is awful. Nearly 1000 dollars and you have to use a janky fork of a GitHub repository to change anything.

I bought used keyboard, but I arrived in totally new condition. I just missed one tool part to remove keys, but that is ok, I got it 180 EUR cheeper than new one. Small price to pay :D When starting with this keyboard you really need to use all 10 fingers, and I need to relearn typing. Its not the same as ordinary keyboards.

I purchased the Kinesis Advantage 360 keyboard a few weeks ago, and I am confident that it will be my go-to keyboard for a long time. The keyboard is incredibly comfortable to use, and I was able to easily customize the keys with the Kinesis graphical keymapping tool. Although the build quality is decent, I felt that the default ABS plastic keycaps that came with the purchase were of low quality. Fortunately, replacing them with Kinesis PBT keys made a significant difference. Initially, I had a Bluetooth connection issue, but after troubleshooting, I haven't experienced any problems since. Although the keyboard comes with a higher price tag, I believe that it's worth the investment. If you work on a computer a lot, just like with investing in a high-quality chair, it's essential to prioritize ergonomics and comfort. I recently started feeling a tingling sensation, soreness, and sometimes minor pain in my wrists while typing on a regular keyboard, which led me to research ergonomic keyboards. I'm thrilled that I found the Kinesis Advantage 360 because it has significantly reduced my discomfort and improved my typing experience. But even if you don't have any problems with your wrists/hands, I still think this is a great keyboard to consider. It took me about a week to get used to the keyboard layout, but with daily practice, typing at least thirty minutes to an hour each day, I was able to return to my average typing speed of 90wpm. Three weeks in, I feel like I am in total control of this keyboard, including all the special symbols, without even looking at the keys. I have never felt this level of control with a regular keyboard. While I changed the mapping for the hotkeys, I left the key mapping alone for the majority of the keys. Some of the special symbols, such as equal/plus, back tick/tilde, and curly brackets, were challenging to get used to, but with plenty of practice, I have significantly improved. It's worth noting that it's normal to experience some frustration when using a keyboard like this, but I believe that anyone can come to appreciate it with practice. There is a good chance that you might run into Bluetooth connection issues with this keyboard at some point, but be aware that this is a normal thing for any type of bluetooth electronics. For me, after troubleshooting, the Bluetooth issue has not returned yet, but it is very infrequent and minor enough that the benefits of this keyboard outweigh the potential downsides.
