Product code
KB600LFQ
Contoured design maximises comfort and boosts productivity
Fixed Split
Hands are positioned at shoulder-width to keep wrists straight and reduce ulnar deviation.
20 Degree Tenting
Tenting elevates the thumb side of the hand to reduce forearm pronation caused by flat keyboards.
Compact Design
Tenkeyless layout with embedded keypad results in closer mouse placement for less “over-reach” strain.
Palm Supports
Integrated palm supports and cushioned palm pads promote neutral wrist position reducing harmful wrist extension
Concave Key Wells
Hands and fingers are placed in a natural, relaxed position to shorten key-reach and reduce over-extension.
Sculpted Home Row
Find the home row without taking your eyes off the screen with sculpted home row keycaps.
Thumb Keys
Use stronger thumbs rather than weaker pinkies to access heavily used keys like Space, Backspace, and Enter.
Vertical Keys
Orthogonal key arrangement mirrors the natural motion of your fingers to increase speed and comfort.
Mechanical Key Switches
The Advantage2 Quiet LF utilizes the newest Cherry MX Quiet Red stem mechanical key switches which have a linear feel, low activation force, and sound-dampening components to make them quieter than conventional mechanical switches. The MX “Quiet” Red is an ideal choice in open work environments where ambient noise is a concern.
SmartSet
The fully programmable Advantage2 features Kinesis’s all-new SmartSet Programming Engine that allows you to customize the keyboard’s layout without installing any clunky software or special drivers, or accessing the internet. Record macros, remap keys, and much, much more using convenient onboard shortcuts. SmartSet works on all major operating systems and enables users to easily create, view, edit, share, and backup their custom layouts.
