I have a helix board and it’s nice to have a programmable layout but the ergonomics aren’t great because I haven’t found a good way to tent it.
I’m considering a kinesis advantage 2 but at 400 eur + import taxes (I’m in Switzerland), it’s a fair sum to put in a keyboard I won’t be able to return.
Why do you say the weight was a problem? Doesn’t it stay in your desk and doesn’t move around at all? Anything else you think is worth knowing about the keyboard?
- johanvts 6y agoI have the advantage 2, it absolutely stays put thanks to some small rubber feet. It's very bulky, but I like that. It feels solid and provides great wrist support, every other keyboard seems to hit me with some sharp edges or require separate wrist support. I think it's near perfect, I just want them to make a version with blue switches or even better swappable switches.
- ornornor 6y agoThanks. Do you have the brown switches version or the linear force/red?
- easygenes 6y agoIt's not the weight, but the amount the keys are raised above the desktop that bothers me the most. I find it difficult to arrange as ergonomically as I like and it just doesn't look good on the desk.
- ianhowson 6y agoI'll second that. I found that the height off the desk put pressure on my wrists and shoulders. The wrist pads get sweaty and gross and wear out very quickly. It's still a great design. Also every person that walks by your desk will interrupt you to say "that's a weird keyboard."
