A Kinesis Advantage contoured keyboard is amazing. Hard to get used to. I would use it, but it doesn’t have the windows keys, which I remap to the mouse buttons. The single worst thing you do at your computer is click the mouse button. You must not click mouse buttons. The entire wonderful ergonomic Kinesis keyboard is not worth clicking mouse buttons for.
Also, the ‘esc’ key on the Kinesis is truly horrible. It’s basically a tiny, mushy, rubber mouse button way up in the corner that’s hard to press and doesn’t work half the time. Literally the single worst key I have seen on a keyboard, ever, including the Timex Sinclair and my smartphone touchpad.

The first thing I do when I get a new computer is remap Caps Lock to escape. Every time you do that, a Vim-angel gets its wings.
I use a Kinesis Advantage keyboard. Everything PhilGoetz says about its escape key is true. I am now in your debt.
