[Kinesis] 【ワイヤレス・ピンク軸】 Advantage360 Professional Linear Quiet【キネシス アドバンテージ360 プロフェッショナル】 [KB360-PRO-KLQ]

分離型かつお椀のような立体構造のおかげで、胸を開いた自然な姿勢で軽く入力できます。身体への負担軽減を目的として購入したのでその点については大満足です。文字入力は意外とすぐ慣れましたが、記号は少し練習が必要でした。 またキー設定の自由度が高いのは嬉しいポイントでした。 オープンソースのZMKファームウェアを使用した細かなキーカスタム・マクロ作成が可能なので、色々なソフトのショートカットをワンタッチで打てるように設定し、ちょっとした左手キーボード代わりにも使っています。 複数のプロファイルを登録できるので、通常の入力用のほか、各ソフトごとに専用のプロファイルを作り使い分けています。 完全な素人ですが公式リファレンスとAIを活用すれば設定はできました。面倒ではあったので人は選ぶと思いますが、こちらを購入しようという方はプロフェッショナルが多い気がするので不要な心配かもしれません……。 キーカスタムについてのサポートは一切していないと公式から明言されていますので自分と同じ素人の購入者はご注意を。 個人的なマイナス点として、海外製のためサイズが大きく、手が小さめだと最上段のキーまで指が届きません。セットポジションを維持したまま打てるのは手の大きい人に限られると思います。 また左右それぞれの電源を入れる手間があり、Bluetooth接続が安定するまでに少し時間がかかることもあります。 そのためサッと入力したいだけの時には別の普通のキーボードを使っています。 総合して、身体への負担軽減を主目的とするなら満足できる製品ですが、最速入力や接続の快適さなどを重視するなら慎重な検討をおすすめします。なお、デスクに置いてあると気分が上がって作業のモチベは上がります。

- Feels very comfortable in my hands. - The build quality is decent (nothing extraordinary) but good enough. - It is NOT small keyboard it takes up noticeable desk space and has more height than you’d expect. also you’ll probably spread the halves apart for a better fit Heads up: there is a steep learning curve. im still getting used to it, but enjoying the process. I just wish there were a wired version running ZMK

Great product, learning curve is 1-2 weeks before getting back to your pre-kinesis typing speed, build quality is very high, Bluetooth connectivity is great w Apple products (using MacBook Pro M1-M4), curiously kinda sucks with windows though with random intermittent disconnects (easily fixed by plugging in USB cables) I purchased these in a last ditch attempt to help my carpel tunnel and was pleasantly surprised with almost immediate relief. Even w the weight and size of these I find myself making excuses to bring this with me on business trips due to how much they help/correct my wrist and finger pain and numbness. The only downside is as a coder you will feel the unavoidable draw to NeoVim..

This is an excellent product, the build quality aligns with its price and surpasses it. The typing experience is incredible once you get used to it. You can achieve a "flow state" typing that is so pleasant is incredible. Not to mention my wrists pain got away from two weeks of using it. The Bluetooth problems are a thing of the past and the programability is super easy with clique and the latest update which already came with the shipped product from the factory. The pink switches are amazing, I was afraid that they would be too easy to press but they are not.

I really liked this keyboard overall. It was extremely comfortable to type on and I had basically zero hand or wrist discomfort using it. That part absolutely lived up to the hype. My biggest issue was the reach to the upper pinky letter keys. I have pretty average-sized hands for a man in the US, maybe even slightly above average at around 7.8 inches, and I still could not comfortably reach those keys with my pinkies when my hands were sitting where my palms naturally wanted to rest. If my palms got even a little sweaty, they would kind of stick, and I would have to peel my hand up to reach those keys. A lot of the time I ended up using my ring finger instead. I did not buy the optional palm rests, so I can’t say whether those would have helped. I also was not a huge fan of the Kinesis Clique software. It felt a little too limited for what I wanted, so I ended up going the older route and manually flashing the firmware so I could set up combos and custom timings. That process was not great. The documentation was not very clear, and it took me a while to figure out that you have to use the “no Clique” firmware version. If you use the Clique version for manual flashing, it does not seem to work right. Until I figured that out, the whole experience felt kind of buggy. The other downside for me was gaming. For regular typing this keyboard was great, but for gaming it felt basically unusable unless I wanted to remap a ton of keys. If you play WASD games in the usual way with your ring, middle, and index fingers, the layout just does not feel natural. Aside from those issues, I really did love the keyboard. I ended up returning it because the price is high, and for that kind of money I needed it to fit my needs a little better. Still, for pure typing comfort, I can absolutely see why people love it.

Key feel and arrangement are very good as expected. Adjustability is good, wish it had more degrees of freedom. Expensive, but excellent build quality. Bought this bc I get severe wrist pain when typing, and this does genuinely help
