Kinesis Advantage360 Ergonomic Split Mechanical Keyboard Review

I was more intrigued when I tried one at PAX West earlier this year, so when Kinesis reached out to see if we wanted to take their split design ergo keyboard for a spin, I jumped at the opportunity. Yet, I knew it would be a daunting ask — I’d effectively be spending the next few weeks re-teaching myself how to type, something I’ve been doing effectively my whole life. Would that trial and error be worth the benefits of using an ergonomic keyboard, and does it make a difference in how my wrists are feeling towards the end of the day? Let’s dive in.

I remember the first time I saw an ergonomic keyboard being used by someone — it was in the Google Deep Mind documentary about AlphaGo. One of the programmers working on the project was seen programming on an ergo keyboard, and it struck me as odd, really.

Standing desks are becoming much more affordable (I actually have two for my work and gaming rigs), yet a more ergonomic setup for the mouse and keyboard is something I never seriously considered until I saw that documentary.
