Well the TypeMatrix that I recently purchased has given me a great experience in typing more effciently & without cramp. I just need a board that can handle gaming too.. The G15 I have is not that bad, although I would like to upgrade to matrix. So please list all matrix keyboards with at least 6kro. Thanks

Quick question: Will the Truly Ergonomic, have 6kro? That is if it ever comes out :-)

Sent them an email about the AKC090 and never got a response.. No idea what the rollover situation is.

USB Kinesis, ie the Kinesis Advantage, is 6KRO.

OP, No idea about the Truly Ergonomic, you should ask them and share the information here.

They show up on ebay now and again. I've wanted an access-is for a while now.

I guess I will be looking at a sub $150 used kinesis contoured. Basically Sordona, the setup you have would be really neat to try out. However the largest problems I see with the Kinesis is its Size and Price. Other wise it looks like a great board.

You got it right. Matrix layout, fully programmable, integrated palm rests, thumb keys, cherry MX reds, and 40A durometer soft o-rings. It doesn't get much better than this (unless we are talking heavy mods like cutting it in 2 movable pieces). Typing on this very keyboard right now:

kinesis is actually the size of a tenkeyless imo, yea it's "bulky" cuz it has lots of plastic and it's got a lot of depth cuz it's the curved.

Everyone thinks the Kinesis is huge. It gives that appearance in photos. Try this for size:

About 16" x 8"
