Been using this for a while now, had a kinesis advantage 2 but wanted more customisation without paying a premium for the new advantage 360.

There’s no led lighting so the battery lasts forever. Haven’t timed it but reckon I get at least a month out of it coding 8 hours a day

    Seeing this gets me all hyped. I wish I had a keyboard like that. I type all day and a more ergonomic keyboard would boost my typing.

    Thanks for sharing, and for making me #envy you!

      Wouldn’t say that it particularly boosts speed. I had a fairly big speed drop while learning to adapt.

      Everyone’s different but it took a month of using it all day as well as doing typing exercises to get up to 70wpm.

      I did the switch to an ergo keyboard because I was having shoulder and wrist pain and it seems to have helped rather than cured.
