You reference Kinesis in the article so I assume you've seen the Kinesis Advantage 360? I've been a happy Kinseis Advantage user for two decades, and the 360 is pretty much perfect. It has dedicated keys for activating layers, you can remap and configure on a website using web serial, and it is extremely premium looking/feeling. And of course it's very comfortable without the thumb key problem discussed in this article.

The Kinesis Advantage literally saved my career. I have lived in fear for a long time that the company would go out of business. So every chance I can justify I send them another $400 for their latest keyboard so I help keep them in business and increase my stockpile.

I have had an advantage, advantage pro, advantage 2, and an advantage 360 pro.

The 360 comes close but it’s a miss for me. I really don’t like the omission of the function keys, and the switches feel muddied compared to the ones on the previous advantage keyboards.

If they fixed those two things and added another 1-2 keys to the thumb cluster, I think that would be the ultimate keyboard for me.
