Description

Even the non-standard fare I have in my ZMK based configurations, like Auto Shift and a few mod taps, I was able to configure using the GUI. Admittedly, things like Auto Shift, I already had the code written for in my Advantage keymap so that definitely sped things up because I could simply paste the code into the Glove GUI. But at least you don’t have to do it all in a text editor. Glove80 configurator is much better than the Kinesis solution

Bridge: The bridge is plastic and flimsy, and I didn't open it all. After all, I bought the Advantage360 mainly because I wanted to adjust the gap between the two halves. So, the bridge defeats the purpose. A connector could be helpful if you want to use it on your lap. When considering the Kinesis Advantage 360, it's important to keep in mind that ergonomic keyboards can greatly improve your typing comfort and potentially reduce strain on your hands. The Kinesis Advantage 360 takes this concept to a whole new level with its unique design and customizable features. Here are three things to keep in mind when deciding if the Kinesis Advantage 360 is right for you: Please Note: The Advantage360 keyboard uses the open-source ZMK engine and is not designed for novice users. ZMK does not support onboard programming so users who rely on that feature may not be satisfied with the Pro. Kinesis Technical Support can help point you in the right direction and provide written documentation, but we cannot provide individualized ZMK training and custom programming help. Whether you're looking for a high-performance gaming keyboard or just need a reliable device for work-related tasks, the Kinesis Advantage 360 has got you covered. Durability and Maintenance

The Advantage360 Professional users Bluetooth Low Energy (“BLE”) wireless connectivity technology between the left and right modules, and the left module and the host computer. Compared to “Classic Bluetooth”, Bluetooth Low Energy is intended to provide considerably reduced power consumption and cost while maintaining a similar communication range. All major mobile and desktop operating systems natively support Bluetooth Low Energy, but desktop performance for BLE tends to lag behind Classic Bluetooth presently.

Weigh up against that, the fact that the layout is a triumph. It’s very, very comfortable to use, and what those pingy chocs do give you, is a faster feel, with each keypress being closer to the board and the desk. Let me tell you about the features of this board. First of all, it’s got these lovely keywells. This is really the feature that is synonymous with Kinesis boards. The thumb cluster is very similar to the Advantage 2 and Ergodox, if you have used either of those two. I really wish the home row keycaps had a greater scoop but thankfully, due to the key well, your fingers are largely led to the correct place. This is where the big money goes; key wells The Kinesis Advantage 360 also comes with palm supports that provide additional comfort and support for your wrists. With these supports, you can rest your palms at an angle, which reduces pressure on the tendons in your wrists. This feature is especially beneficial for individuals who suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome or other repetitive strain injuries. So, I’m pleased to tell you the Glove is up their as another serious contender in this space, which sadly, makes choosing a board of this nature harder than ever. But what a great problem to have. stars is generous. I should probably give it 3, but I'm gonna be generous because it's made it possible to do my job with chronic pain.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. If you encounter a git conflict when updating your repository to V3.0 please follow the instructions on how to resolve it here.

Comparison between the Ctrl, Alt, Cmd/Win keys of the Advantage2 (taller) and Advantage360 (shorter) The benefits of tenting are that it allows you to type in a more neutral position. However, I couldn't use the medium or high settings. For me, the initial stage is the most comfortable one. Palm support The core buyer of the KINESIS Advantage360 Professional Split Ergonomic Keyboard is a professional who spends a significant amount of time typing and is seeking a comfortable, ergonomic, and customizable typing solution to reduce discomfort and improve productivity. 5 Reasons to Buy:The sound signature is very nice out of the box, with only a little switch ping on the odd key. I haven’t opened the case up but I’m led to believe there is no glue used anywhere so it you did want to dive in, maybe invalidate your warranty, and add extra sound proofing, or de-solder the browns and put different key switches in, you should be able to fairly easily. I had it in my head that swapping the switches out was one of the first things I would do but I honestly like the way it sounds and feels just fine. For the more bespoke stuff, you get to assign keys as ‘custom’, and then paste in the code as you would typically have in your keymap file in ZMK. Now, I appreciate that plenty of users won’t even know how to write these kind of things in the first place but you can ask in the ZMK or MoErgo Discord, copy code into your config and get it working, without needing to do any of the GitHub based shenanigans you need to with the Advantage 360. Functions keys are located in the number row and accessed via the Fn Key for reduce reach and enhanced portability. To enhance your typing experience, the keyboard's ergonomics and comfort features have been carefully designed to reduce strain on your hands and wrists. The Kinesis Advantage 360 allows you to type for longer periods without experiencing any discomfort. The keyboard has a split design with concave wells that cradle your fingers, allowing you to maintain a natural position while typing. The keys are arranged in vertical columns (rather than staggered) to better reflect the natural motion of your fingers.
