Kinesis Advantage 360 Split Keyboard

The all new fully split Kinesis 360 Advantage contoured keyboard was designed to provide maximum comfort and adjustability. Split, splay and tent each module for the optimal typing posture. Equipped with tactile Brown mechanical key switches and the SmartSet Programming Engine.

As the market leader in computer ergonomics, Kinesis has been designing and building premium-grade ergonomic keyboards for more than 25 years. The all-new Advantage 360 features a patented Contoured keyboard design now in a fully split form factor for even more ergonomic adjustability.

Separate the two key modules to shoulder-width and rotate them to reduce painful ulnar deviation. And use the integrated tenting mechanism to choose from one of three heights (High, Medium, and Low) to reduce forearm pronation.

The Advantage360 features low-force tactile “brown” mechanical key switches and premium PBT keycaps with dye-sublimated legends.

The new and improved new SmartSet^TM Programming Engine supports one-board programming featuring one-touch macros and remaps. Use the SmartSet App (Windows/Mac) to customize each of the 5 programmable layers.

Features:

• Adjustable Split - Separate and rotate modules independently to keep wrists straight and reduce ulnar deviation.
• 3-Way Adjustable Tenting - elevates the thumb side of the hand to reduce forearm pronation caused by flat keyboards.
• Compact Layout - Thanks to its tenkeyless layout, you can position your mouse to the side or in the middle for less “over-reach” strain
• Proven Contoured Shape - Hands and fingers are placed in a natural, relaxed position to shorten key-reach and reduce over-extension
• Signature Thumb Keys - Use stronger thumbs rather than weaker pinkies to access heavily used keys like Space, Backspace, and Enter.
• Optional Fixed Split - Not ready for full adjustability? Attach the included bridge connector for the traditional Advantage separation.
• Vertical Key Configuration - Unlike traditional staggered keyboards, the orthogonal layout mirrors the natural motion of your fingers.
• (Note the Pro version has wireless connectivity)

Mechanical Key Switches

• The Advantage360 utilizes the Gateron Brown stem low-force tactile key switches. “Tactility” is a slightly elevated force around the midpoint of the stroke of the key which lets you know the switch is about to be activated. A tactile response is preferred by many ergonomists, because it cues your fingers that activation is about to occur and can reduce the frequency of “bottoming out” the switch with a hard impact.
