You might get some suggestions for the Kinesis Advantage 2. It's a great keyboard, but keep in mind it's very different from other keyboards and could take a couple weeks to get used to before you're back up to your full productivity. I think the best approach for the Advantage is to just stick with it and fight the urge to even temporarily switch back to a regular keyboard.

As an owner of an Advantage 2, I wholeheartedly agree. I was worried that I'd lose my ability to type on a normal keyboard after I became accustomed to the ortholinear layout of the Kinesis (as some posts online suggested), but I'm typing this message on my MacBook Pro's keyboard.

That said, there's nothing more comfortable and pleasant to type on for the whole day than my Kinesis keyboard. Well worth the $350 price tag and the learning curve.

If you can return to full productivity two weeks after switching to an Advantage 2 then you are way more skilled than I am :) I'd say I hit about oh 80% proficiency after a couple weeks. It took me many months for the keyboard to be fully second nature for me.
