Your Advantage2™ keyboard combines Kinesis’ time-tested Contoured™ design with low-force tactile “brown” or linear
“quiet red” Cherry mechanical key switches and the powerful new SmartSet™ Programming Engine™. The Advantage2
sets a new standard for comfort and productivity. With the
driverless SmartSet Programming Engine, you can quickly
selective Windows or Mac thumb key modes, change instantly
between QWERTY & Dvorak layouts, and remap keys to build
custom layouts.
No special software or drivers are needed. The Advantage2 is
plug-and-play with all operating systems that support full-
featured USB keyboards.*
This Quick Start Guide covers the installation and basic setup
of the Advantage2. For detailed instructions on customizing
your Advantage2, Advanced Features, and Warranty Information please download the full User’s Manual at: kinesis.com/
resources/advantage2.
Installation
1. Plug Advantage2 into your computer’s USB port. A device installation notice will appear on your screen.
2. When the auto-installation is completed, you should see a “device is ready to use” notice on your screen.
3. For maximum comfort, install the self-adhesive palm pads onto the keyboard’s integrated palm rests.
4. OPTIONAL: If you are connecting an Advantage foot pedal (FS007RJ11, FS007TAF) to the keyboard, plug it into the
telephone-style connector at the back of the keyboard using the coupler provided with the pedal.
Important Note
The SmartSet Programming Engine provides powerful tools for customizing the keyboard’s layout and settings. Because
of the risk of inadvertent reprogramming, Kinesis recommends that ALL USERS read this Quick Start Guide before using
the keyboard. Even users familiar with the original Advantage keyboard are advised to read this guide since some
programming commands have changed and new commands have been added.
Warning
The Advantage2 keyboard is not a medical treatment. Please consult the User’s Manual for basic Safety & Health Tips.
*Certain KVM and specialized telephony devices do not support programmable keyboards like the Advantage2. If you
experience compatibility problems please visit the Advantage2 Resources page (link above) or submit a ticket to Kinesis
Technical Support (page 4).
