I purchased the Kinesis Advantage 360 keyboard a few weeks ago, and I am confident that it will be my go-to keyboard for a long time. The keyboard is incredibly comfortable to use, and I was able to easily customize the keys with the Kinesis graphical keymapping tool. Although the build quality is decent, I felt that the default ABS plastic keycaps that came with the purchase were of low quality. Fortunately, replacing them with Kinesis PBT keys made a significant difference.
Initially, I had a Bluetooth connection issue, but after troubleshooting, I haven't experienced any problems since. Although the keyboard comes with a higher price tag, I believe that it's worth the investment. If you work on a computer a lot, just like with investing in a high-quality chair, it's essential to prioritize ergonomics and comfort. I recently started feeling a tingling sensation, soreness, and sometimes minor pain in my wrists while typing on a regular keyboard, which led me to research ergonomic keyboards. I'm thrilled that I found the Kinesis Advantage 360 because it has significantly reduced my discomfort and improved my typing experience. But even if you don't have any problems with your wrists/hands, I still think this is a great keyboard to consider.
It took me about a week to get used to the keyboard layout, but with daily practice, typing at least thirty minutes to an hour each day, I was able to return to my average typing speed of 90wpm. Three weeks in, I feel like I am in total control of this keyboard, including all the special symbols, without even looking at the keys. I have never felt this level of control with a regular keyboard. While I changed the mapping for the hotkeys, I left the key mapping alone for the majority of the keys. Some of the special symbols, such as equal/plus, back tick/tilde, and curly brackets, were challenging to get used to, but with plenty of practice, I have significantly improved. It's worth noting that it's normal to experience some frustration when using a keyboard like this, but I believe that anyone can come to appreciate it with practice.
There is a good chance that you might run into Bluetooth connection issues with this keyboard at some point, but be aware that this is a normal thing for any type of bluetooth electronics. For me, after troubleshooting, the Bluetooth issue has not returned yet, but it is very infrequent and minor enough that the benefits of this keyboard outweigh the potential downsides.

Great product, with some connectivity issues
Great product, with some connectivity issues.- The build quality is astounding, really solid and well made.- The keys have a responsive touch, as well as beign noisy enough to feel like you're typing in a quality keyboard but not too loud to distract you from work.- I had some problems with the bluetooth connectivity at the beginning. My solution was to leave the keyboard on as well as my laptop's bluetooh scanning for it. Eventually the keyboards pairs after a few hours, and haven't problems since then.Would only recommend buying the professional version if you have experience programming and like to tinker with software.

Style: SmartSet (USB) | Tactile SwitchVerified Purchase
The keyboard might seem strange at the start and even it might look strange, but in reality, it’s one of the best keyboard I have used. I have a big collection and I could say for sure that this is my favourite and I’m gonna be using this for a long time Probably years. Now the main reason that motivated me to purchase the keyboard is the ability to sit ergonomically and have my shoulders wide open whilst not pointing inwards, but outwards did. This significantly helped with arms related pain and shoulder pain and upper back. I highly highly recommend the keyboard as it does maintain a good post and I can’t see a better alternative after months and months of research, the keyboard pricing is obviously very high, but they do have something going onLife SaverAmazon Customer
