The Kinesis Contoured Advantage Ergonomic Keyboard's unique design is based on more than two years of research and was designed to reduce the known factors that cause repetitive stress injuries. Have you tried all the other keyboards and find that none of them relieve your discomfort? Then maybe the Kinesis Advantage Contoured Keyboard is for you.
The Kinesis Advantage is designed to be more comfortable than other keyboards in several different ways. The Kinesis Advantage's unique shape reduces the force and stressful positioning that contribute to discomfort and slow productivity. Since its introduction in 1992, the Kinesis Contoured keyboard has undergone extensive independent testing and has proven superior in both comfort and productivity.
This standard Advantage model can be switched to a DVORAK layout, but it has only a QWERTY legend. If you need both, consider the Advantage with dual QWERTY/DVORAK legends, or for more memory and features, check out the Advantage Pro.
Kinesis Advantage Features
- Concave key wells reduce hand and finger extension to better accommodate the different lengths of your fingers: extension occurs when the joints in your fingers curl up and extend forward from your hands, rather than relaxing down slightly in the direction of the palms
- Vertical key layout arranges keys in vertical columns to reflect the natural motions of your fingers, and the keypads are sculpted and concave to fit the varying lengths of your fingers
- Design provides looser placement of function keys to the alphanumeric keys, so your fingers don't have to stretch as far 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 to reach your keypad
- Programmable - you can remap any or all of the keys!
- The Advantage keyboard is compatible with the Kinesis Numeric keypad for those who prefer a separate numerical keypad
- Smaller footprint allows you to place your mouse closer to your keyboard, making it easier to work in your neutral zone and reduce any shoulder pain
The Advantage keyboard ships with the standard 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:

Technical Specifications
- No special drivers needed
- Separate thumb keypads for frequently used keys including: enter, backspace, delete and combination keys control, alt and command (PC) or option (Mac) to reduce stress on the little finger

- Twenty degree, lateral-tilt design places your hands so that your thumbs are approximately 20 degrees higher than your pinky fingers to minimize pronation and/or static muscle tension
- Low force, tactile key switches (45 grams) provide both tactile and audible feedback with their long travel (4 mm) with activation at approximately 2 mm to reduce the jarring impact of "hitting bottom"
