> My personal opinion is that the Kinesis Advantage is not the most biomechanically sound design
I agree. I use an Advantage, and while it's certainly better than traditional keyboards, I think it has a couple of flaws in terms of ergonomics:
• the keywells are not rotated inward and the distance between them is not adjustable. Therefore, unless your shoulder width is exactly right for this keyboard, you have to rotate your hands in- or outwards
• the thumb clusters are too far away. For me, if I relax my thumbs, they drop right in that little space between the space/backspace keys and the keywells.
• the thumb clusters are also too high, making it somewhat painful to rest the thumbs on the keys for longer periods of time
