Got RSI from coding at job circa 2016 and bought this baby for $350. I’m using it as long as possible, but I would love a metal splittyboi

Thumb clusters are life!

    These are separate things. You can easily replace the SmartSet controller in the KA2 with a KinT controller with QMK. The key wells and thumb clusters are connected to the controller with removable ribbon cables. The swap-out takes maybe 5 minutes.

    Kinesis offered replacement flex PCB and key wells in the past, so that you could replace your switches. They don’t sell them anymore and instead you have to go through an expensive UpgradeKeyboards.com build.
