Office Ergonomics Ergonomic Keyboard Natural Keyboards Kinesis Advantage Contoured Linear Feel USB Keyboard for PC and MACWith a design based on years of ergonomic research and independent testing, the Kinesis Advantage Contoured Linear Feel USB Keyboard for PC and MAC features a pair of concave key wells and a vertical key layout designed to reduce hand and finger extension by encouraging a more relaxed hand position while typing. This distinct design helps reduce repetitive stress injury and prevent the awkward, stressful positioning associated with many keyboards that results in workstation discomfort. An integrated two-port USB hub also allows for the easy addition of accessories such as separate numeric keypads and foot switches. The keyboard also replaces the standard underlying key switches with ones that remove the tactile "bump," providing a smoother keystroke feel and more consistent activation force.
Features - Kinesis Advantage Contoured Linear Feel USB Keyboard for PC and MAC
- "Linear feel" switch technology provides a smooth, consistent keystroke action with a 45 gm activation force and no "tactile peak"
- Concave key wells and 20 degree lateral-tilt design encourage a relaxed typing posture that prevents hand and finger extension by accommodating the different lengths of your fingers rather than forcing them to curl up and extend forward
- Vertical key layout repositions keys in vertical columns designed around the natural range of motion of your fingers
- Function keys have been repositioned to improve accessibility while using alphanumeric keys
- Integrated palm support and reduced physical footprint improves typing posture, reduces wrist extension and allows for closer placement of your mouse
- Embedded 10 key function reduces need to reach outward to access numeric keys and can be activated with optional foot switch; the Kinesis Low-Force Numeric Keypad is available for users preferring a separate numerical keypad
- Programmable onboard memory allows for remapping of keys and macro recording and can be switched between QWERTY and DVORAK layouts (keyboard only features QWERTY legend)

Professor Ergo's Thoughts:
We've always loved the Kinesis Advantage for its unique contoured design, but the Kinesis Advantage Contoured Linear Feel USB Keyboard for PC and MAC takes it to the next level. Although very similar, the new Linear Feel model replaces the Cherry MX Brown switches used in the Kinesis Advantage and Kinesis Advantage Pro and replaces them with smooth-typing Cherry MX Red switches. These switches remove the tactile "bump" normally felt when typing on a mechanical keyboard, resulting in a less force being required to type and overall smoother operation on each keystroke. This increased ease of typing will certainly be noticeable with heavy use, which makes the Kinesis Advantage Contoured Linear Feel Keyboard an ideal ergonomic keyboard for gamers and heavy typists.

Our Customers Say ...
I received the chairs today and they are perfect. Thank you for your personal attention to my shipping snafu. In this day and age of the internet and push button instant gratification, we sometimes forget that the real value is not in a price that is 1% better. It's in the value added by empathetic people how really try to help. Maybe you should create a company tag line like "Real humans providing great human solutions."
