3.5 Adjustable Linking Cable
The two key modules are connected by a 20” linking cable that can be adjusted
to suit your typing preferences and body type. The basic configuration allows up
to 12” of separation which is more than enough for most users.
If you need additional cable, simply remove the cable compartment cover on the
back of the left key module and thread out more of the stored cable. Once you
have achieved the desired cable length, carefully fit the excess cable into the
compartment removing any kinks and slide the cable cover on until it latches.
Rotate the left key module to remove kinks so the cable lies flat.
Position the key modules at shoulder width and/or rotate them slightly to achieve
a neutral wrist position for an ergonomically optimal typing position. Start with a
small separation or modest rotation and work your way up to the position that
feels most comfortable. For more information on typing postures visit:

the 4 Mac modifier keycaps (as shown at right) using the included keycap tool.
Layout 2 updates the four modifier keys to match a standard Mac keyboard (and
the 4 Mac keycaps), reconfigures the 8 hotkeys to work on macOS, and
transforms the Print Screen key (“PrtSc”) into the Mac screen shot command.
Layout 2 can be customized using Onboard Programming or the SmartSet App.
