The Advantage2 address the known repetitive strain risk factors including carpal tunnel related to keyboarding. Integrated palm supports position wrists in a neutral relaxed positon to reduce wrist extension. The fixed-split design positions arms at shoulder width to reduce the awkward bending of your wrists. Concave key wells places your hands and fingers in a relaxed, natural positon with your fingers curled down to the keys. Separate thumb keys include often used editing keys such as Enter, Space, Backspace and Delete which redistributes workload away from you overused little fingers. The two keywells are “tented” at an optimal 20 degree angle moderately raising the thumb side of the hand Tenting puts you in a more neutral, “handshake” posture and reduces the stresses caused by forearm pronation and static muscle tension.
