Traditional PC (Windows) International keyboard. Note the extra international key next to left Shift.
Advantage keyboard configured for Windows PC (factory default)
Familiar key layout (QWERTY standard, Dvorak dual-legended available)
Kinesis Contoured keyboards retain the familiar QWERTY key layout (below). Several
changes in the location of non-letter keys reduce the work required of your overworked little
fingers and increase the workload for your stronger thumbs. Optional foot switches can further
reduce the work demanded of your hands and fingers. As the world becomes smaller, it is nice
to know that your new keyboard also has international capabilities: an “international key” is
located near the Left arrow key. This action of this key changes with different language
drivers. When Keypad is toggled on, this key becomes Insert (PC) or Help (Mac).
Reference drawings of traditional keyboard
Compare the Kinesis QWERTY layout (above) with the alphanumeric and editing portions of
traditional US Windows and Macintosh keyboards (above & opposite). The Windows
keyboard shown has the U.S. International layout with the standard extra “International key”
inserted next to the left Shift key. The Advantage MPC keyboard also has this international
key, located next to the Left Arrow key.
