No, thanks. I'd rather use my Kinesis Advantage than a horrible layout on a horrible flat keyboard.

I’m typing this comment on an IBM Model F XT. The video is to show proper typing posture not an endorsement of chiclet style keyboards.

But you could even type on this crap and be comfortable, because posture fixes the problem instead of masking it, like that Kinesis.

Oh, posture is good. But I'd rather have good posture on a keyboard with keys lined in direct columns etc.

(Truth be told, my Kinesis Advantage sits on my standing desk at work where I spend most of my screen time and typing. I'm tying on my MacBook's chiclet.)

The issue is the tension you create by gluing your wrists and then having to curl your fingers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nfwL_99pjA

On Kinesis you minimize this issue but your hands are still mostly static and never relax.
