Features

As the leader in computer ergonomics for over 25 years, Kinesis has consistently designed and crafted premium ergonomic keyboards. The all-new Advantage 360 showcases our patented Contoured keyboard design, now in a fully split form for enhanced ergonomic flexibility.

Separate the two key modules to shoulder-width and rotate them to minimize painful ulnar deviation. Utilize the integrated tenting mechanism to choose from three heights, reducing forearm pronation.

Equipped with low-force tactile "brown" mechanical key switches and premium PBT plastic keycaps with dye-sublimated legends, the Advantage 360 ensures a high-quality typing experience.

The improved SmartSetTM Programming Engine supports on-board programming with one-touch macros and remaps. Customize each of the nine profiles, each now featuring five programmable layers, using the new SmartSet App for Windows and Mac.

Ergonomic Features:

  1. Concave keywells reduce hand and finger extension, promoting muscle relaxation.
  2. Separate keywells position arms at shoulder-width, keeping wrists straight and perpendicular to the home row to reduce abduction and ulnar deviation.
  3. Keys arranged in vertical columns for a natural finger motion.
  4. Tented keywells promote a neutral, "handshake" posture and reduce stress from forearm pronation.
  5. Integrated palm supports reduce wrist bending, providing a comfortable resting place for hands.
  6. Thumb clusters include frequently-used keys, redistributing workload from little fingers to stronger thumbs.
  7. Despite its appearance, the Advantage 360 has a smaller footprint by eliminating the numeric 10-key, allowing the mouse to be placed closer for reduced "over-reach."
  8. Function keys located in the number row for reduced reach and enhanced portability, accessed via the Fn Key.

Mechanical Key Switches:

The Advantage 360 utilizes Gateron Brown stem low-force tactile key switches. Tactility around the midpoint of the key stroke signals imminent activation, reducing the frequency of "bottoming out" with a hard impact.
