Random thoughts after 30 min with my new #Kinesis #Advantage360

- it's beautiful
- I can't type
- why are there no bumps on f and j?
- only one alt and one cmd but two ctrls? that's the opposite of what I need
- how am I supposed to do my cmd+alt+ctrl keyboard shortcuts now that all of those keys are assigned to thumbs? I only have two thumbs
- how am I supposed to select text (shift + arrows) when the arrows are split between two hands? (l/r on the left and u/d on the right)

I will need to remap the hell of that keyboard for sure, but I have no idea how yet. And I will need to change some of my keyboard shortcuts 😞. So much muscle memory to re-learn.

I love the shape, and I love having backspace and enter under the thumb.

@angelikatyborska if the problem is software to remap: i have solutions for mac and linux :)

@bitboxer Not at all. Kinesis Advantage 360 (not bluetooth) supports remapping right on the keyboard, no software required.

@bitboxer By "no idea how" I meant I don't know which keys I want to be where 😅

@angelikatyborska yeah, that's the hardest part of it all 😅. I have added a software layer because I need some keys to be changed dependent on the app I am using 🙈. If you end up going that route, ping me.
