Exclusive Limited Edition: Advantage360 KLQ

Building on the success of the Advantage2 Quiet LF keyboard, Kinesis presents the Advantage360 KLQ—a limited edition featuring Kailh Box Pink Linear "Quiet" mechanical key switches.

Distinguished by Steel Blue non-home row keycaps, a linear key force, and near-silent operation, the Advantage360 KLQ reflects our commitment to premium ergonomic design. With over 25 years of expertise in computer ergonomics, Kinesis introduces the fully split form factor of the all-new Advantage 360, incorporating the patented Contoured keyboard design for enhanced ergonomic adjustability.

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

The Advantage360 KLQ features quiet, linear, low-force mechanical key switches and premium PBT plastic keycaps with dye-sublimated legends.

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

Ergonomic Highlights:

• Concave keywells reduce hand and finger extension.
• Separate keywells position arms at shoulder-width, keeping wrists straight.
• Vertical column key arrangement mirrors the natural motion of fingers.
• Tenting puts you in a neutral, "handshake" posture, reducing forearm pronation.
• Integrated palm supports reduce wrist bending, with optional premium pads for added support.
• Thumb clusters include frequently-used keys, redistributing workload to stronger thumbs.
• Smaller footprint without the numeric 10-key allows for a more ergonomic mouse placement.
• Function keys in the number row for reduced reach and enhanced portability.

Mechanical Key Switches:

The Advantage360 KLQ employs Kailh Box Pink stem quiet, linear, low-force key switches. The "Quiet" Pink includes sound dampening components, making it ideal for open work environments where ambient noise is a concern.

The Advantage360, fully programmable for your convenience, boasts Kinesis's upgraded SmartSet Programming Engine. Customize your keyboard layout effortlessly—no need for cumbersome software, special drivers, or internet access. Record macros, remap keys, and more using onboard shortcuts.
