I'm using it since last Friday: the first impression is very positive! I'm still learning to use it and getting accustomed to the new layout, but I'm quite happy. It works perfectly under SuSE 10.0. Thank you very much for your support and feedbacks. marco I finally bought a Kinesis Contour Keyboard Advantage Pro. I’m using it since last Friday: the first impression is very positive!

No problem. 1. Used both USB and PS/2, both worked perfectly. 2. Switching to Dvorak is handled by the keyboard itself, so it will work with any OS that can handle the connector (USB or PS/2). And, yes, it did. 3. I used models with and without the foot pedals. They sound cool (and indeed, they are), but I didn't find it to be something that I would probably use for normal work. Then again, I didn't get to try it out very much. It was just that my fingers are way faster than my feet. 4. SUSE & Gentoo, myself, though I know people who are using them with many others as well as MacOS X & Windows. No need to apologize. I completely understand; it is quite an investment in which I know you will be very happy. HTH. You’re welcome. No problem.

Let me ask some more questions: - were you using the USB version of the Kinesis Contour Keyboard under Linux? - does the switching to Dvorak key layout works under Linux? - did you use the model with the foot pedal (action foot switch) Advantage (TM) Pro USB () - under which distribution of Linux did you use the keyboard? and which kernel? I apologize for making so many questions, but I would like to have a clear picture before buying the keyboard ... since it's expensive. Thank you in advance Greetings marco Thank you for your answer.

I apologize for making so many questions, but I would like to have a clear picture before buying the keyboard … since it’s expensive.

Thank you in advance

I have even used them with the add on foot pedal accessories and such. Currently, I do not own one of the Kinesis keyboards. I hope to "fix" that soon.
