Kinesis Keyboard Quick Reference I'm a huge fan of the Kinesis keyboard, a countoured keyboard that has significantly helped my hands. If you're looking for a keyboard alternative, check out the Kinesis. It may seem expensive, but it's well worth it - excellent design and excellent construction. Besides, isn't your health worth it?

I can never remember the magic keys to press to access features like remapping, so I made this quick reference website. If you have any additions, please email me. Kinesis finally put this info (and more) online as well.

Progrm-foo means press the key marked "Progrm", hold it down, then press the key "foo", then release both. "Foo/bar" means toggle between foo and bar. Not all features are available on all keyboards.
