Kinesis Advantage Pro Contoured USB Keyboard for PC and MAC Features
- Pro edition includes metal finish, double macro memory of other models, easy switch between PC and Mac modes and a single action foot switch
- Concave key wells reduce finger and hand extension to better fit the different lengths of user fingers: extension happens when the joints in the fingers curl up and extend forward from your hands, rather than relaxing downward slightly in the direction of the palms
- Vertical key arrangement places keys in vertical columns in line with the natural motions of your fingers, and the keypads are sculpted and concave to fit the varying lengths of your fingers
- Designed with looser placement of function keys to the alphanumeric keys, so your fingers need to stretch less in order to use them
- Integral palm support enhances comfort and reduces extension of the wrists
- Embedded 10 key layout eliminates the need to stretch your arm out of its neutral reach zone to use your keypad
- The Advantage keyboard is compatible with the Kinesis Numeric keypad for users who prefer a separate numeric keypad
- Smaller footprint allows you to place your keyboard closer to your mouse, making it easier to work in your neutral zone and reduce any shoulder pain
The Advantage keyboard ships with the standard Microsoft Windows layout, but you can easily change the configuration to a Mac or non-Windows PC layout. Click on the links below to see the three different configuration options:
