Climate Pledge Friendly
It's been about twenty years since I first used a Kinesis and haven't used one since. For the past 14 months I've been using a Moonlander split keyboard. It's a decent keyboard, but the options for tenting are very poor unless you invest in more hardware purchased from their site. They do offer excellent support, though. I'd had the keyboard for about six months when the right side thumb cluster hinge broke. They sent me a replacement for free.
Back to the Kinesis. I write A LOT. I'm a full-time author so I bang out hundreds of thousands of words per year. I'm in my mid-fifties, and fingers and wrist hurt all the time because of poor ergonomics and cheap keyboards.
The Kinesis Advantage 360 is kind of amazing. It has true tenting, and the concave nature of the pieces means you can comfortably rest your palms on the outside and only move your fingers. Since I have used a split ortho board for over a year, this was not a huge learning curve. The keys are laid out well, but I had to change a few. I like the CTRL and ALT on the left side on the bottom row. I moved those keys using the ZMK software which is not really friendly. You have to have a Github account, fork builds, and then use the key mapper to generate new firmware. Each piece of the keyboard them must be connected via USB. Copy the corresponding builds to each piece and then swap key caps. I'm happy with the four or five keys I moved and have this looking almost exactly like my Moonlander layout.
Bluetooth has worked perfectly on my PC. I've had zero issues so far. I hit a key in the morning and my PC wakes up. I leave the backlighting off. After two weeks of heavy use, the batteries are still going strong without a recharge.
I purchased the palm pad separately. Why aren't these included with this very expensive keyboard? Come to find out, they might not be needed depending on your hands. I find them okay, but I will probably switch back to using the palm rests without the pads. They are comfortable and all, but I'm making more typos with them installed.
This is a very expensive keyboard, and it will not be for everyone. There is a learning curve. When I initially switched to a Moonlander, my WPM dropped to about five words per minute. I'm a slow and not very accurate typist, but after this short amount of time I'm up to about 70 WPM with a 98% accuracy rate. This is fantastic for my old hands.
Overall, this is a technical board that requires an understanding that the interface software is far from user friendly. Remapping keys will be challenging. I find that the key caps get oily from my fingers rather quickly, which is a weird thing to write, but it's true. So far this has not affected my typing, but I feel like I need to wipe them with a cloth a few times a week. Lightly textured key caps would have been perfect on this thing. Even with these negatives, I feel this keyboard beats the Moonlander by a mile. This is a true ergo keyboard and so far I love typing on it. The Gateron brown switches feel really nice. Negatives aside, this is the best keyboard I've ever owned. I look forward to many years with this thing.

Customers say
Customers find the keyboard to be the best they've used, with great ergonomics that rest their hands and eliminate wrist pain. The build quality is solid, and they consider it worth the investment. However, the Bluetooth connectivity is problematic, with the left half frequently disconnecting from the right half. Moreover, the adjustability and reliability receive mixed feedback, with customers noting it takes time to adjust and experiencing issues with keys stopping working completely.

Excellent product, no Bluetooth issues, incredible typing exp.
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.

Style: Professional (Bluetooth) | Tactile SwitchVerified Purchase
This keyboard is awesome! I've gone through a bunch of other keyboards over the years from cheap Dell ones, Keychron mechanical keyboards (great keyboards for normal layouts), Unicomp IBM Model M and was skeptical at first about this, primarily as I've never touch-typed.. can type fast with numerous fingers but mostly looked at the keyboard.IanComfortable ergonomic keyboard
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 5, 2025
This Kinesis has taught me to touch type too now, within a few weeks. I remapped a few of the keys due to programming needs, but it's so comfy and allows me to sit in a better position.
It's not cheap, bit if you're looking for a split ergo keyboard, I'd highly recommend it!
