Kinesis Advantage360 Professional Split Mechanical Keyboard

Product Information

Separating the keywells positions the arms at shoulder-width to keep wrists straight and perpendicular to the home row to reduce abduction and ulnar deviation.

Wait 5 more seconds for LEFT module to fully wake up, and then connect the RIGHT module to your PC or use the battery-power switch to power it on (slide away from the USB port)

Base Layer: In the base layer, each key performs its primary action, which is legended on the top of the keycap. Just connect each module to your PC using the included charging cables. A full charge should take 6-8 hours and when the keyboard is connected to a power source it will run off of USB power. The batteries are designed to last for 3+ years depending on how often they are charged. Like all batteries their max capacity will wear down over time. We plan to offer OEM replacement batteries for sale down the road. Note: If you are charging the left module it will only be able to send keystrokes to the computer to which it is connected. And the same goes for fancy RGB lighting. Personally I couldn’t care less, but at this price, perhaps the absence is enough to turn you off. Press and hold the SmartSet key and tap “macro” (aka Hotkey 2) to enter Macro Record Mode (lights will begin flashing rapidly).

Builtin ZMK/QMK support. I don't have to tell, but we shouldn't mod a Keyboard to add ZMK/QMK support. Familiarize yourself with the basic layout of the Advantage360 Pro. You’ll notice that the editing keys have been move to the left and right thumb clusters. This redistributes workload mover evenly among all your fingers and eliminates extending to these standard key locations. The alphanumeric keys are exactly where you would expect to find them. By default this config repository references a customised version of ZMK with Advantage 360 Pro specific functionality and changes over base ZMK. The Kinesis fork is regularly updated to bring the latest updates and changes from base ZMK however will not always be completely up to date, some features such as new keycodes will not be immediately available on the 360 Pro after they are implemented in base ZMK. Select your trigger key or key combination (lights will lights will flash slowly). Up to four modifiers may be used as “co-triggers” in concert)

Now, I’m a Web Developer by trade, so Git is familiar to me and I got through all these shenanigans fairly easily but for a professional that isn’t a software developer, it’s just a whole lot of friction. Wait 5 seconds and then connect the LEFT module to your PC or use the battery-power switch to power it on (slide away from the USB port) The two keywells are “ tented” to moderately raising the thumb side of the hand. Tenting puts you in a more neutral, “handshake” posture and reduces the stresses caused by forearm pronation. Choose from one of three heights depending on your preferences. Learn More
