Hardware Overview: Kinesis Advantage Keyboard
The design of the Kinesis Advantage keyboard allows for a more natural placement of the user's arms and hands. Concave key wells reduce extension by accommodating the various lengths of fingers during typing. The keyboard is smaller than a traditional keyboard, which reduces the amount of reach necessary in operating the mouse.
Separate thumb pads redistribute the workload from relatively weaker and overused little fingers to stronger thumbs. Separate key wells for each hand minimize strain and stretching by positioning the arms approximately at shoulder width and with wrists straight.
