Kinesis Advantage 2 Full Review after Heavy Usage

Get it here: https://amzn.to/3o3JOwT Full, honest review of the Kinesis Advantage 2 Ergonomic Keyboard. First, I have the black, Cherry MX "Silent" Red switches. In my honest opinion, I would stick with the black keyboard as it'll be the easiest to keep looking halfway decent over time. Then, in terms of the switches you pick. The MX Reds don't have that tactile feedback of the MX Browns...however, if you work in an environment where you'll be using this keyboard where that environment is shared with others, it is almost your honor bound duty to buy the MX Reds and not the Browns for the sanity of everyone around you. The Browns feel absolutely amazing, HOWEVER, they are LOUD. The MX Reds don't have that same poppy feel to them, but they're still pretty good and orders of magnitude quieter...so please make the responsible decision on which keyset to get if you buy one :-) Please note that some of the links are affiliate links meaning ordering through our links will give us a small percentage of anything you buy. If you like the review and appreciate the information, that's just your way of giving back without actually having to give anything at all!

One of the very best keyboards money can buy for someone looking for an ergonomic keyboard to maybe help relieve strain / stress / pain for long hours at a computer. Also, even if pain isn't a problem, just the fact that your hands do less to accomplish the same amount of typing is just excellent. I'd always wondered if it was worth the price of admission, and I can whole-heartedly say YES.
