Oh damn u got the kinesis advantage!! I don't own one personally, but I had a chance to type on one at a keyboard store. Absolutely loved it. It felt pretty much the same as my ex-dactyl, apart from a different layout around the thumb clusters. It also took me a while to get used to the weird layout (especially considering that I never learned to touch type lol. On a standard keyboard, I pretty much just peck-type very fast), but once I got up to speed, it felt wonderful. I think I would prefer my ex-dactyl to the Advantage tho, simply because it is two separate pieces. Not that it offers a huge ergonomic boost or anything, I just like having the extra desk space in the middle to put my coffee on (/¯–‿･)/¯ .
By the way, you can edit comments on lemmy, no need to reply twice. It's under the meatball menu next to the reply button.
If you like the kinesis, but want separate pieces check out the Ergodox EZ https://ergodox-ez.com/. It's another ortholinear keyboard, but I couldn't get used to the tenting.
