As a Linux user this leaves me really second guessing.

I have this keyboard and use Linux and it works perfectly.

Best of all, all keyswapping and other layout changes are done via the keyboard itself so absolutely no software required to be installed :)

I use it with linux+emacs and definitely the best keyboard ever. Already 15 years old.

Could you share how you remapped your modifier keys for optimal emacs use on the Kinesis Advantage2?

Thank you in advance.

I put all the modifiers on the thumbs. so meta and mac option need to be mapped, and I put a control key on each thumb, space, backspace and newline. so all chords are 1 or 2 thumbs plus a normal key.

I guess that leaves 3 on the thumbs unused ... I should look at that
