Silencing Kinesis Advantage 2 Keyboard
I have used this keyboard for around six years, but it always disturbs me when I type for longer sessions. Now, I found the solution.
The Kinesis Advantage 2 keyboard was not made for software developers, especially those who frequently use special characters (such as C++, Java, JavaScript, and some parts of Python).
Square and curly brackets are in a weird position that you need to use your fingers in the angle of the weak; some of the keys are not in their original position because of the layout, so you are reaching them by little finger — I don’t know you, but my little finger is not my strongest finger. As a result, nearly all necessary characters are reachable via a little finger, which makes developers’ lives harder. Of course, I am talking about ten-finger writing. Otherwise, you can reach any key with any finger of your wish. You can map the keys as you wish — for example, I remapped the square brackets to page-up and page-down keys, which made my life a bit easier.
