You'd be missing out if you upgraded your workstation without boosting your keyboard game, too. A lot has changed since the standard keyboard was created - don't let old design strain your arms and wrists while you work. The Kinesis Advantage2 Contoured USB Keyboard for PC and Mac is the ideal solution for users looking to stave off carpal tunnel syndrome and other injuries caused by poor working arm posture.
The Advantage2 Keyboard will have you at hello if you desire the ability to customize a keyboard with your own macros. The SmartSet engine with a 2 MB capacity supports over 100 large macros. You can view and edit all macro layouts to easily keep track of any changes made. The macros are stored as a basic text file for easy sharing. Switch between QWERTY or DVORAK layouts in no time, without having to make any sacrifices. And if that's not enough, design your own hotkey layout that you can access with a two-key combination. The Kinesis Advantage2 provides it all, a completely customizable keyboard wrapped in an ergonomic package.

Kinesis Foot Switch
Single Action Foot Switch
For most users, this premium, elegant pedal provides more comfort than the outer pedals of the triple action model. The pedal is front-hinged with a textured surface, and can work with any model of Kinesis contoured keyboard. If the user desires, a self-adhesive hook-and-loop tab is included to anchor the foot pedal to the floor.
Triple Action Foot Switch
The triple action pedal is the best and most efficient way of taking advantage of your Kinesis Advantage2 Contoured Keyboard's foot input options. It can be configured to perform any user-defined macro or keystroke.
Jar Opener
Don't let a jar of pickles, olives, or your grandmother's jam cause pain or injury. Trying to open a stubborn jar requires high hand forces which lead to unnecessary strain. A jar opener decreases the grip strength necessary to open the often-stuck jar. Keep your hands safe with an UPLIFT jar opener, free with your purchase.

Very Comfortable!
It took me a few days to feel like I was back close to my normal typing speed, and switching back to a traditional layout can take a minute to get situated, but overall I really like this keyboard.

What a relief
I'm using this keyboard with a vertical mouse, and the improvement in my wrists is remarkable. The keyboard takes a while to get used to, but after two weeks I'm back to my usual typing speed. In spite of the price, I ended up getting one for both home and the office, and it was well worth it.

relief for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
I got this keyboard two years ago because of carpal tunnel syndrome. I use the keyboard with the Cirque Smart Cat touch pad velcroed to the center of the keyboard. My wrists feel great. The keyboard and the touch pad work perfectly together. I wouldn't switch this combination for anything.
This product comes standard with a 3-year warranty.
