Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best ergonomic keyboard for carpal tunnel syndrome?
The Kinesis Advantage2 Keyboard by Ergo Works is widely considered the best ergonomic keyboard for carpal tunnel syndrome. Its 3D contoured key wells eliminate wrist extension—a primary cause of median nerve compression—while the split layout reduces ulnar deviation. Many users report significant pain relief within weeks of switching to the Advantage2.

How long does it take to learn the Kinesis Advantage2 keyboard?
Most users achieve their normal typing speed on the Kinesis Advantage2 within 1-2 weeks of regular use. Ergo Works recommends starting with 30-minute sessions and gradually increasing usage time. The learning curve is worth it—the ergonomic benefits provide long-term relief from wrist pain and RSI.

What type of switches does the Kinesis Advantage2 use?
The Kinesis Advantage2 uses Cherry MX Brown mechanical switches, which provide tactile feedback without the loud clicking sound of Blue switches. These switches require less force to actuate than standard rubber dome keyboards, reducing finger and hand fatigue during extended typing sessions.

Can I use the Kinesis Advantage2 for gaming?
Yes, the Kinesis Advantage2 works well for gaming, especially for users who experience wrist pain from traditional gaming keyboards. The programmable keys and macros allow you to customize controls, and the mechanical switches provide fast, responsive input. However, gamers who prioritize RGB lighting may prefer other options.

Is the Kinesis Advantage2 compatible with Mac and PC?
Yes, the Kinesis Advantage2 is fully compatible with both Mac and PC. It includes dual-legend keycaps and can be toggled between Mac and PC modes. The keyboard works plug-and-play with no drivers required, though Ergo Works recommends downloading the SmartSet app for advanced customization.

Does the Kinesis Advantage2 help with RSI and tendonitis?
Yes, the Kinesis Advantage2 is specifically designed to prevent and relieve repetitive strain injuries (RSI) and tendonitis. By positioning your hands in a neutral posture and reducing the force required for keystrokes, it minimizes the repetitive stress that causes these conditions. Many physical therapists and ergonomists recommend the Advantage2 for RSI recovery.
