They should switch to a QMK based firmware. I use it on mine and the flexibility is amazing.<p><a href="https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2020-07-09-kint-kinesis-keyboard-controller/" rel="nofollow">https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2020-07-09-kint-kinesis-...</a>

The new iteration is called Advantage360, has contoured key wells (of course), and is fully split (omg, omg)! Kinesis is looking for feedback to finalize some details (link in their facebook post).
Anyone here use gaming keypads for programming?<p>I came across these two, which look interesting, but might require significant work to be used as keyboard replacements.<p>Razer - <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Razer-Tartarus-Progammable-Detachable-Mecha-Membrane/dp/B07754PYFK/" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Razer-Tartarus-Progammable-Detachable...</a><p>Azeron - <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Azeron-Classic-Programmable-Customized-Thumbstick/dp/B08GKWQ54S/" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Azeron-Classic-Programmable-Customize...</a>
Oh wow,
I've been a KINESIS user for years, and I thought I knew their product line well. But their new gaming keyboards, the Freestyle Edge[1] and the TKO[2] totally snuck up on me.<p>[1]: <a href="https://gaming.kinesis-ergo.com/edge/#shop" rel="nofollow">https://gaming.kinesis-ergo.com/edge/#shop</a><p>[2]: <a href="https://gaming.kinesis-ergo.com/tko/" rel="nofollow">https://gaming.kinesis-ergo.com/tko/</a>
This sound tempting, but again the trend is for less keys that force the use of layers. One of the main reason for me to build my own keyboard (<a href="https://imgur.com/a/By9YN2q" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/a/By9YN2q</a>) is this (pls, wish extra keys for major programming symbols. Amazing? YES!).
