I entertained buying the advantage (maybe 2?) before ultimately buying a keyboardio model 1. The main things I didn't like about the advantage was the fixed geometry and small/awkward function keys. Had this been out, it would have been strongly considered, looks like it addressed my primary concerns.

That said, I loved the keyboardio so much that I recently received the updated model 100, and love it more than the original. The hot swappable switches are great, and the layout is really efficient for me (admittedly, took a frustrating few weeks to get proficient).

Knowing what I do now, I'd personally choose the keyboardio 100 over the kinesis 360, but I'm glad there is another flexible high quality split kb on the market.

I recently switched to the Advantage 2 (after trying the Kyria, Ferris, and Freestyle Edge). And now I feel that there is no way back after having experienced the Advantage’s key wells. They are just fantastic. So, I think from now on, the Advantage 2/360, Dactyl, and perhaps Glove80 are the only options for me.

I don’t really use function keys, but if I did, I’d just map them to the second layer.

Hi, Can you please tell me if the fun key (big roundish key) gets in the way when typing?

I really want one, but I'm not sure, I like resting my palm when typing.

Also, are the wells well curved/deep? I can't tell from static images on the web.

Thanks.

No, you can comfortably rest your palms on the wood with your fingers on the home row and you either don't tough or just barely rest the joint of your thumb on the fun keys. To actually press them, you have to consciously press down with that thumb joint (sounds a bit awkward, but really becomes second nature immediately). It's extremely comfortable and ergonomic.

Wells on the Keyboardio are pretty shallow; nothing like a Kinesis.

(I'm a Model 01 user since 2017 and currently typing this on a Model 100, resting my palms on the wood).

The keyboard is flat, but the caps are sculpted
