## Description

## Features

- Versatile split design great for typing and gaming: move the right module out of the way and bring your mouse in close for improved endurance and more precise aim (eSports proven). Rotate the left module for optimal key coverage or to squeeze into a tight space at a LAN. Or split the modules up to 20 inches and put your stream mic, HOTAS, or mouse in the middle for easy access. Separate the modules to shoulder-width for an ergonomic typing posture and add the lift kit tenting accessory to reduce forearm strain. The detachable Palm Supports now include all-new thick cushioned palm pads for even more comfort.
- 100% Mechanical switches for maximum performance: genuine Cherry MX Blue mechanical switches (clicky, tactile feedback) offer professional-grade responsiveness and unmatched durability (50M clicks). Choose the switch that's right for you.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between blue, red, and brown? They are all the same Price?**
A: Kind of hard to explain quickly. Great info in this short article: https://www.keyboardco.com/blog/index.php/2012/12/an-introduction-to-cherry-mx-mechanical-switches/ 

Indeed they are all the same price!

**Q: Has anyone compared this to the cloud nine c989m? i'm torn between those two and no one has done a comparison i could find.**
A: Cloud9 released a new board which is basically a clone of this but has some advantages that I prefer (just bought mine).
1. The Edge tenting attachment has terrible reviews and without it you can't tent at all, whereas the c9 has a 7 degree tent built in which I find perfect.
2. The c9's wheel is a pretty nice experience that's unique in the market. If I gamed a lot I expect I'd like the volume control function, but as my work board I'm using it to replace alt-tab and like it a lot.

Had the Kinesis come with a tenting solution out of the box that dozens of reviews weren't claiming constantly folded under pressure (I use a standing desk so I put a fair amount of pressure on my palm rests) then I definitely would have gone with Kinesis as to not reward Chinese knock-offs. But I have no regrets. The c9 legit brought a smile to my face the first time I used it, and I'm at least 10% more productive because of the typing enjoyment and increased speed over my Surface ergo keyboard.

**Q: Will this keyboard be available with mx silent red or mx speed silver switches? if not, are the switches user swappable?**
A: Switches are not "hot-swappable", they would need to be desoldered to swap switch type.  No plans for Silent Reds, but Silvers will be available in November.

**Q: Does anyone have a case suggestion? I need to carry the keyboard around in a backpack and I want to protect it.**
A: I've carried it in a cloth bag in a backpack without problem, but I haven't seen a better case so far. 
Be extra careful with the linking cable making sure it does not twist in weird angles as that might damage it
