Any news on next-gen Kinesis Contoured?
« on: Wed, 17 April 2013, 15:14:44 »
I remember reading somewhere on these boards that Kinesis is currently prototyping the next generation of their Contoured keyboard. Is there any news on that? Does anyone have any idea regarding the timeline of this?

I'm leaning towards ordering an Advantage somewhere in the near future, but if the next generation model is, say 5 months off, I'd rather wait.

Thanks for any info.

So 5-10 months-ish...neat. I'm so curious to see what's being done by Kinesis. I know a few things they considered, and will be holding out to see if the new design will be something I'll get and cut in half again.
