16. Customizing Your Keyboard: Advanced SmartSet Programming Features
In addition to the Basic Programming Features described in the previous section, the Advantage2 also has a number of
powerful Advanced Programming Features designed for those looking to get the most out of their Advantage2
programmable keyboard. To access most of the features listed below, it is rst necessary to activate “Power User Mode”.
Those features are denoted with “PUM”.
Note: Advanced Programming Features utilize functions that are not labeled on the
keys and can radically change the performance of your keyboard so proceed with caution. Even those users familiar with
programmable keyboards in general, or a Kinesis Advantage keyboard, should read this manual in full before attempting to
access any of the Advanced Programming Features.
Global Macro Playback Speed Adjustment Program + Pause + (1-9)
All Advantage2 macros default to a playback speed of “Speed3” on the Advantage2 which is equivalent to 12.5 characters
per second (CPS) or approximately 150 words per minute (WPM). However, users can adjust the playback speed for all
macros “globally” with a single programming shortcut.
To change the Global Macro Playback speed, hold the Program Key and tap the Pause Key to enter Global Macro Playback
Speed Adjustment Mode. All four LED indicator lights will ash to alert you that you are in an active programming mode.
Then select a playback speed from 1 to 9 (1 being the slowest and 9 being the fastest) by tapping a key in the number row.
Global Playback Speed Adjustment Mode will exit and the LEDs will stop ashing even if you select an invalid key (i.e., any
key besides 1-9). We recommend running a Status Report after changing the playback speed to conrm the change has
taken effect. This Global playback speed setting can be overridden for individual macros by direct editing of the
corresponding Layout conguration le. Read below for detailed information on Direct Editing.
Note: Before attempting to adjust Global playback
speed, turn off the keypad layer. If you have
remapped the desired number to another location on
the keyboard, you must use the current location for
speed assignment, not the original location. Macro
trigger keys will not affect programming.
