Kinesis Contour Keyboards (PS/2)
The Essential
Take advantage of the advanced ergonomic design of a contoured keyboard at an affordable price. Designed for home and business computer users who do not need the extra flexibility afforded by on-board programmability. The least expensive contoured keyboard, yet it is head and shoulders above any alternative. If you don't plan on customizing the keyboard, this is a great value. You can always upgrade later without even sending your keyboard back to Kinesis.
- Advanced ergonomics without programmability
- Lowest priced full-featured ergonomic keyboard
- Supports optional foot switches (ideal for number crunchers!)
- Field upgradeable to Classic or Professional
The Classic
Our flagship keyboard, the Classic offers ergonomic and programmability features most suitable for the everyday computer user.

The Professional
Our most advanced programmable keyboard, the Professional is ideal for intensive computer users seeking maximum comfort and productivity. Our most complete package, the Professional is popular with programmers and serious computer users suffering from RSI. With twice the memory of the Classic, it supports longer macros. It has a recessed memory locking switch so you can protect your handiwork from accidental changes. It also includes a Single action foot switch.
