Kinesis Advantage 360 KB360 - 2.4 Full Programmability

9
“tented” design helps to minimize stresses associated with pronation and static muscle tension, while
enabling maximum keying productivity. Using the buttons on the underside of the keyboard you can quickly
and easily choose between three available heights to find the settings that feels most natural for your body.
We recommend starting on the lowest setting and working your way up until you find the sweet spot.
LED Indicator Lights
There are 3 RGB light emitting diodes (LEDs) above each thumb cluster. The LEDs are used to indicate the
status of the keyboard. These LEDs can be custom programmed for both Color and Function via the
SmartSet App. Factory default functions are listed below.
Default Layers: Base: Off, Kp: Blue, Fn1: White, Fn2: Green, Fn2: Red
Default Profiles: 0: Off, 1: White, 2: Cyan, 3: Green. 4: Red. 5: Blue, 6: Yellow, 7:Orange, 8: Green-Blue, 9:

2.4 Full Programmability
Kinesis Contoured keyboards have long featured a fully-programmable architecture that allowed users to
record macros, remap keys, and create custom layouts and settings. The Advantage360 utilizes the latest
version of Kinesis’ revolutionary SmartSet™ Programming Engine, which makes the Advantage360 even
more powerful and versatile than its predecessors.
The SmartSet Engine
SmartSet Kinesis’s driverless programming engine that allows users to store custom keyboard layouts and
settings on an onboard flash memory drive (aka the “v-Drive) and reprogram the keyboard quickly and easily
using “onboard programming shortcuts”. Keyboard configuration files are saved as “simple text” files which
allow them to be edited from virtually any operating system.
Onboard Programming Shortcuts
Customizing the keyboard is accomplished quickly and easily using a variety of onboard programming
shortcuts. Shortcuts are triggered with the dedicated SmartSet Key (Gear icon) used in conjunction with other
keys pressed in a special combination to perform the desired customization. Programming can be disabled
with the new Program Lock command to eliminate the risk of “inadvertent programming.”
Built-in Bootloader
The bootloader allows you to update the firmware on your Advantage360 in seconds using a firmware file
downloaded from our website and special key combination. Now you can always be up-to-date with the latest
releases from Kinesis and can ensure compatibility with the newest operating system versions.
