Ergonomics

The Kinesis contoured keyboard has stood the test of time since its

first introduction in 1992. The Advantage360 takes those same core

design principles and adds adjustable separation, rotation, and

tenting to suit any body type.

Separation and Rotation

The most ergonomic typing position is one in which your hands are

in line with your arms for “straight” wrists. This can be achieved by

separating the modules to shoulder-width, by rotating the modules

“outward”, or any combination of the two. New users should start

with the modules closer together, and experiment with separation

and rotation to see what orientation feels most natural.

Optional Bridge Connector

For those who want to recreate the classic separation of our original

contoured keyboard, or those who just aren’t ready to make the

move to a fully split keyboard, simply snap the Bridge Connector

onto the keyboard base.

Warning: The Bridge Connector is NOT designed

to support the weight of the keyboard!!!

Adjustable Tenting

The Advantage360 features three adjustable “tenting” heights to

reduce forearm pronation. Depress the button on the underside of

each module and raise/lower the module to the desired height. The

lowest setting corresponds to the original contoured keyboard

height, but users can go up from there to find the perfect position.

Default Profile LED Color

0: Off

1: White

2: Bright Blue

3: Green

4: Red

5: Blue

6: Yellow

7: Orange

Default Layer LED Color

Base: Off

kp: White

fn: Blue

Note: Power users can access

two additional fn layers (fn2

and fn3) via the SmartSet App

or Direct Programming if

desired.

Optional Palm Pads

If you purchased the all-new Palm Pads

separately, simply identify the correct side

and drop them into place. The magnets

will automatically center them on the

keyboard. Clean by wiping with a small

amount of lightly soapy water as needed.

Customizing Keycaps

Extra keycaps like macOS modifiers and “blanks” are included to

support keyboard customization. Use the keycap removal tool to

grasp the sides of a keycap and gently pull straight up to remove.

Carefully align the new keycap over the stem of the key switch and

press down gently. Note: Each keycap has a different height and

slope so it may not be suitable for every location on the keyboard.

6 Indicators LEDs

The Advantage360 features six Indicator LEDs that display

important keyboard settings. The default assignments are shown

below, but each LED can be customized to suit your preferences

using the SmartSet App or Direct Programming.

Caps Lock | Proﬁle | Layer Num Lock | Scroll Lock | Layer

Default Keyboard Layout

The Advantage360 may look intimidating at first, but the layout is

designed to work with your body and most keys are accessed with

the same fingers touch-typists are accustomed to using.

- Concave keywells place alphanumeric keys within easy reach

- Heavily-used editing keys are positioned under your thumbs

- F1- F12 are accessed by holding either of the two “fn” layer keys

- The numeric keypad is accessed by tapping the “kp” layer key

- 4 blank “hotkeys” are available for macros or custom key actions

- Onboard programming commands are triggered by key

combinations initiated with the “SmartSet” Key

3 Default Layers

Each key can perform multiple actions depending on which “layer”

is active on the keyboard. The layer LEDs will illuminate when you

move away from the base layer. By default, most keys perform the

same action in all three layers. If a key performs multiple actions, the

keycap will feature a second or third legend on its front face.

1) Base Layer: In the base layer, each key performs its primary

action, which is legended on the top of the keycap.

2) kp Layer: Tap the “kp” key on the left module to access the kp

layer, and tap it again to return to the base layer. Kp layer actions

are legended on the lower right corner of the keycap.

3) fn Layer: Press and hold either of the “fn” keys with your pinky

to temporarily access the fn layer, and release to return to the

baselayer. Fn layer actions are legended on the lower left corner of

the keycap.

10 Available Proﬁles

The Advantage360 features 10 onboard Profiles. The factory-default

profile, Profile 0, is non programmable to prevent accidental

programming by novice users. If you don’t plan to customize the

keyboard, this is the perfect profile for you.

If you do plan to customize the keyboard, you’ll need to first switch

to one of the 9 programmable profiles. Switching between profiles

is easy using the convenient onboard shortcut and the number row.

Switch Proﬁles: + 0 - 9 6

Onboard Programming

The Kinesis SmartSet Engine is designed to let you quickly and

easily re-program the keyboard layout without downloading any

software by using the SmartSet Key in conjunction with the 4

Hotkeys. Remember to toggle to one of the 9 programmable

profiles first, and then follow the steps below. Note: Consult the full

User Manual for additional details.

Remapping

To “Remap” any key on the Advantage360 to a new location:

1) Press and hold the SmartSet Key, then tap the Remap Key

2) First select the source key (i.e, the action you want to copy)

3) Then select the physical destination key

Remap: + Remap Key

Note: Onboard remapping does not swap keys, it just duplicates the

action. To swap keys, repeat the remapping process and press the

desired keys in the opposite order. Desired key actions which do not

existing in the default layout can be added to any key or layer via

the SmartSet App or Direct Programming.

On-the-Fly Macro Recording

To assign a “macro” to any key or key combo on the Advantage360:

1) Press and hold the SmartSet Key, then tap the Macro Key

2) First select the macro trigger key(s). If you wish to trigger your

macro with a key combination, press and hold the desired modifier

key(s) and then tap the primary non-modifier trigger key.

3) Once you have designated your trigger key(s), the keyboard will

start recording all subsequent keystrokes for your macro (300 max).

4) When you have finished recording your macro, tap the SmartSet

Key to stop recording. The macro will save to the active Profile.

Record Macro: + Macro Key 7

Advanced Programming

For Advantage360 users who want to go beyond basic onboard

programming, there are host of additional features and and special

actions which can be accessed through the SmartSet App or by

Direct Programming the keyboard’s configuration files.

keyboard. Then disconnect the v-Drive to resume normal operation.
