In addition to selecting between QWERTY and Dvorak layouts, Advantage2 users can select from one of three Thumb Key
Modes to congure the four modier keys in the Thumb Clusters to match their operating system. The three Thumb Key
Modes are 1) Windows, 2) PC

, and 3) Mac. The keys that change between modes are the top 2 keys in each
of the two Thumb Clusters. All Advantage2 keyboards keyboards are shipped from the factory in Windows mode
