Advantage2 KB600

I’ve been using the Kinesis Contoured (now Advantage 2) since 1994. It was a game changer for me. Finding one for free is insanely lucky. There are many mods/upgrades worth considering: replacing the keycaps (SA row 3), replace the controller, adding damping inside, and advanced: swapping switches (

I come from a Kinesis Advantage2 which has a ton of thumb keys and had the same experience as you with the Moonlander. On the contrary the two thumb keys on the Voyager are very well placed and I just need to worry and use two keys per thumb. The experience has been so good for the 9+ months I’ve ha

I'm not handy with the soldering iron. So I sent it off to someone who is, Upgrade Keyboards, which is an authorized partner with Kinesis. They sell customized Kinesis keyboards and are willing to work on aftermarket Kinesis keyboards. So I just bought a Kinesis Advantage 2 from eBay and then sent i

I've done it myself -- and more: I added a trackpad between the keys, add PBT, add QMX clips, then added custom switches. The PBT I have are exact duplicates, but the group doing them went out of business. Kinesis makes PBT for the Advantage 360. Here's a review of those on the Advantage 2. PBT is q

Huh. Nuphy should update their spec page, then. You cannot go wrong with TTC Frozen Silents. Funny thing -- I don't have a full set of them. I think I have enough for half a board. Eventually, I'll pull the trigger to get more, but I am always wanting to try something new. For my day to day, they do

I am relatively new to Kinesis. Had Advantage2 for about 2 years and just got a 360 Pro. Have zero issues typing on my laptop keyboard except some keys are in different places but I got used to the switch pretty quickly. Using Kinesis and normal laptop layout. Just makes me want to use the Kinesis m

These are two very different keyboards, the choc style switches on the glove are way way different than the mx mechanical ones, put on top of that the fact that the geometry is totally different you are comparing oranges to apples. My advice is get some cheap 2nd hand flat, choc v1 switches based co

The Kinesis Pro. That's an oldie. I still have my Kinesis Essential. Don't know if still works, though. If you haven't already, I highly recommend buying an inexpensive mechanical keyboard, trying out the plethora of Cherry MX switches, finding one that you love, and then buying an Advantage 2 off o

I have short chunky fingers, so I like a close thumb cluster, too. That's why I went with fewer keys on the thumbs - less stretching. The regular keywells are very similar to Kinesis Advantage2. If you like the Advantage2, I think you'd like this even more. And being able to swap the switches to som

My current keyboard is the Advantage2. For anyone looking for a solution to this that doesn't use third party software. The "Official Solution" from Kinesis is as follows. Create a new Hotkey layout. Essentially what this does is duplicates the key layout you are currently using/set to (qwerty or dv
