Vertical key layout
Keys are arranged in vertical columns to reect natural motions of your ngers, and the keypads are sculpted and concave
to t the varying lengths of your ngers.
Closer placement of function keys
Cherry ML mechanical keys switches are used in the function row for great typing feel and consistency. These function keys
are positioned closer to the alphanumeric keys to reduce awkward motions and stretches, particularly for key combinations
involving thumb keys (Control and Alt, for example).
20-degree lateral tilt design
The contour design of the Advantage2 positions your hands so that your thumbs are
approximately 20 degrees higher than pinky ngers. This “tented” design helps to
minimize stresses associated with pronation and static muscle tension, while enabling
maximum keying productivity.
Integrated palm support
Unlike most keyboards, the Advantage2 features integrated palm supports and optional self-adhesive cushioned palm pads
that enhance comfort and reduces stressful extension of your wrist. This provides a place to rest your hands while they are
not actively keying.
Cherry MX Low-force key switches— Choice of Brown or Red Stem
All Advantage2 keyboards feature Cherry MX mechanical switches for each
alphanumeric key. Cherry switches are known for their reliability and
durability— MX switches are rated for more than 50M keystrokes. All
Advantage2 models (other than the KB600LF) utilize Cherry® MX Brown-stem
switches. Cherry Brown switches are a low-force, tactile switch that offer the
ultimate in typing performance and comfort. Cherry rst built the Brown-stem
switch according to specications supplied by Kinesis in the early 1990s and it has since been adopted as one of the switches
of choice for all of the major mechanical keyboard manufacturers, ergonomic or otherwise. “Tactility” is a slightly elevated
force around the midpoint of the stroke of the key which lets you know the switch is about to be activated. A tactile response
is preferred by many ergonomists, because it cues your ngers that activation is about to occur and is thought to reduce the
