What does the keyboard layout look like? Every single picture of the keyboard on this site shows either a tiny section of the keyboard where you only see like 4 keys, or there's one picture that shows the whole thing, but it's super tiny and you can't read the keys. Does it have a decent mac layout? Is cmd+tab easy to type? Is copy/paste ergonomic? I have no idea because the pictures don't show it, and scrolling around on their site is awful (you can't quickly scan around because of the stupid animations taking 2 seconds for pictures to pop in even if you're quickly scrolling past.)

I’m guessing this mimics the kinesis advantage 2, which is an already well known keyboard layout from the same company.

  Yes, except they have added a few keys to the new layout. A 'function' key in the bottom outside corners, and three keys on the inner edge of each hand that can be programmed to whatever. https://kinesis-ergo.com/keyboards/advantage360/#new-keys https://kinesis-ergo.com/keyboards/advantage360/#new-keys

>Does it have a decent mac layout? So the Advantage comes with extra keycaps for mac that let you replace the windows keys with option keys, not sure if the 360 will have that. On the regular Advantage, the option keys are controlled by the thumb. You can, of course, remap anything you want to remap.

Second this - it is way too hard for me to see a full FOV and high-res look at the actual product!

I have the non-split curvy Kinesis and while it’s good for typing, it is unusable for photoshop or illustrator work. Some shortcuts no longer work for one-handed use.

  Agreed, use my kinesis for all programming work, emails etc. Have a standard staggered board on my desk as well that I swap to for 'hotkey program work' and games (so CAD/3d/photshop/videoediting).
