Step-by-Step Advantage360 SmartSet Firmware Installation Instructions

Certainly, it does. The cables should be connected following the illustration below. The unoccupied port on the left module is designated for connecting the Advantage360 USB-C foot pedal (FS360).

The Advantage360 has done away with what were previously known as Thumb Key Modes as they made programming they keyboard inherently more complicated. You can still reassign your thumb keys one at a time using onboard programming or configure them all at once using the SmartSet App.

Soft Reset: Press SmartSet + Right Ctrl + Enter (lights flash) to reset the active Profile by clearing all remaps and macros.

Hard Reset: Press and hold SmartSet + Hotkey 4 (also known as Refresh) while plugging in the keyboard (hold until the lights flash and release) to eliminate all remaps and macros across all 9 Profiles, resetting keyboard settings to the factory default.

You can remap a key using either the onboard shortcut or the SmartSet App.

Onboard Remapping:

1. Press and hold the SmartSet key and tap "Remap" (also known as Hotkey 1) to enter Remap Mode (lights will begin flashing rapidly). Release the Program Key.
2. Select the "source" key action you wish to copy (lights will slow down).
3. Tap the "destination" key where you want to assign the copied action.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 if you wish to remap another key.

Note: Remapping is a one-way process; to exchange key actions, you must perform two separate remap actions.

Note: To remap an action from one layer to another (e.g., top level to keypad layer), simply use the "Keypad" key to navigate between layers during the remap process.

A macro is a series of keystrokes that can be stored in your keyboard and played back with a click of a single trigger key or key combination. You can record a macro on-the-fly using the onboard shortcut, or you can build a macro using the SmartSet App.

Onboard Macro Recording:

1. Press and hold the SmartSet key and tap "macro" (also known as Hotkey 2) to enter Macro Record Mode (lights will begin flashing rapidly).
2. Choose your trigger key or key combination (lights will flash slowly, and up to four modifiers may be used as "co-triggers" in concert).
3. Input your macro content on the keyboard and tap SmartSet again when the macro is complete.

Note: Every keystroke is recorded, so if you make a mistake, it is recommended to restart the macro or use the SmartSet App to edit it.

Routine Cleaning:

Perform basic cleaning regularly by using compressed air to eliminate any loose debris in the key wells.

Thorough Cleaning:

For a more comprehensive cleaning, exercise caution not to damage the keyboard by avoiding exposure to water or forcibly removing keycaps. Unplug the keyboard and detach all individual keycaps to access the keywell, which may accumulate dirt over time. Utilize the provided keycap removal tool by gripping two sides of the keycap and pulling straight up. If a keycap removal tool is unavailable, you can acquire one on Amazon or use two paperclips bent into the shape of a “J.”

Soak the detached keycaps in warm soapy water, gently scrubbing to remove any debris. Rinse the keycaps and allow them to thoroughly dry.

Utilize compressed air to eliminate any loose debris in the key wells, and use cotton swabs with rubbing alcohol to remove stubborn residue.

Clean the outer plastic keyboard case with a microfiber cloth and a small amount of rubbing alcohol.

Do not reconnect the keyboard to your PC until it is completely dry.

You can rapidly restore a key to its default action by "remapping the key to itself."

1. Press and hold the SmartSet key and tap remap to enter Remap Mode (lights will begin flashing rapidly).
2. Tap the target key twice to revert it to its default function.

You can assign any support action to virtually any key on the keyboard using the SmartSet App or Direct Programming.

The Advantage360 Professional utilizes the open-source ZMK programming engine, offering powerful but intricate customization capabilities. Reprogramming the layout or settings entails creating a GitHub account, compiling, and flashing your own custom firmware file. This overview provides a brief introduction to features and functionality. For detailed instructions on customizing your keyboard, please refer to the full User Manual above.

Note: If you only wish to enable a basic Mac Mode, PC Mode, or Dvorak layout, you can bypass the GitHub process and download pre-configured firmware files below.

Set Up Your GitHub Account:

1. Create a new GitHub.com account or log in to your existing account.
2. Visit the "Adv360-Pro-ZMK" Repository and use the "Fork" button to create your copy.
3. Navigate to the "Actions" tab of your new "Repo" and click the "Enable Workflows" button.

Customization Methods: Now that your personal GitHub Repo is set up, there are two ways to customize your keyboard:

1. Direct Editing Configuration Files on GitHub:
   • Navigate to the "Code" tab of your Repo and open the "config" folder to access various configuration files.
   • Customize the layout ("adv360.keymap"), write/edit macros ("macros.dtsi"), or change keyboard settings ("adv360_left_deconfig").
2. Graphical Keymap Editor:
   • The Advantage360 Pro Keymap Editor is an open-source, web-based application originally created by Nick Coutsos.
   • Use the editor to customize the layout and write/edit macros (changing keyboard settings is not currently supported).

VISIT THE KEYMAP EDITOR

Note: Not all features may be supported in the Keymap Editor.

Access Your Personal Firmware Files: Once you have customized your layout or settings, click the "Commit Changes" button to instruct GitHub to build your custom firmware files. After that, return to the Actions tab of your GitHub Repo, and download your files (Note: builds can take several minutes to complete). Once you have your firmware files, follow the update instructions at the top of this page to flash your new firmware onto each keyboard module.

Your Advantage360 Pro comes programmed with the latest firmware version available as of its factory build date. However, updates are regularly released to address bugs and introduce new features. You can either customize the firmware from GitHub or access "Factory Default" firmware and Quick Configs from this page. The firmware update process on the 360 Pro differs significantly from other Kinesis keyboards. Step-by-step firmware flashing instructions can be found at the top of the page.

Legacy Quick Config Firmware Files (NEW Files Featuring Jan 2024 Connectivity Enhancements): If you're seeking a quick way to enable legacy layouts like PC Mode, Mac Mode, or Dvorak, download one of these firmware files and follow the instructions above to flash the keyboard. Note that these files are not customizable.

Download Files on Kinesis's website

Releasing new firmware may come with an unfortunate temporary downside, as it can occasionally introduce "breaking changes" that necessitate users to reconstruct custom layouts on the updated branch. We understand the frustration associated with this, and strive to minimize such updates. The recent V2.0 update and the latest V3.0 branch have brought about alterations in the keymap files, leading to merge conflicts for individuals updating with custom keymaps.

Discover effective strategies for handling merge conflicts at this link: https://github.com/KinesisCorporation/Adv360-Pro-ZMK/blob/V3.0/UPGRADE.md

The "startup" Profile (White, Blue, Green, Red) is automatically "preserved" whenever the keyboard enters sleep mode after the default 30-second timeout. To modify the default Profile, just use the Mod + 1-5 command to switch to the desired Profile and allow the keyboard to naturally go to sleep (avoid powering it down).

In Wired mode, the Profile becomes inconsequential, as keystrokes are consistently transmitted over USB to the connected device. Nonetheless, we advise toggling to Profile 5 to deactivate the blinking Profile LED.

The Advantage360 Pro features a customized rechargeable lithium-ion 1500 mAh battery. Connect each module to your PC using the provided charging cables. A full charge typically requires 6-8 hours, and when connected to a power source, the keyboard operates on USB power. The batteries are designed to last for 3+ years, depending on the frequency of charging, and like all batteries, their maximum capacity diminishes over time. Replacement batteries will be available for purchase in the future.

Charging and Safety:

For optimal results, directly connect the keyboard modules to a USB-A port on your PC. Avoid connecting them to a wall charger, power brick, or monitor port, as these methods can damage the battery, void the warranty, and potentially compromise safety.

Battery Life:

Battery usage varies among users and depends on settings. To extend battery life, consider dimming the backlighting using the command Mod + Down Arrow or turning off the backlighting entirely with Mod + Enter. Charge the battery only when necessary to maximize its lifespan, as the battery has a finite number of charge cycles.

To check the current battery charge level, use the command Mod + Hotkey 4, and the indicator LEDs will display the status of each battery. (Note: It is normal for the left side to need more frequent recharging)

• Green: More than 80%
• Yellow: 51-79%
• Orange: 21-50%
• Red: Less than 20% (Charge soon)

Note: Windows 11 battery level functionality is not currently supported.

Battery End of Life:

All Lithium-Ion batteries, including those used in the Advantage360 Pro, eventually reach their end of life. The battery will cease holding a charge, and in some cases, it may expand, pressing the keyboard case apart. If you observe the battery expanding, cease use, turn off the power switch, and contact Kinesis immediately. We recommend replacing the battery every three years for maximum safety and performance.

For more detailed information on battery specs and safety, please refer to section 8.5 of the User Manual above.

We advise using the latest branch (the one with the highest number if multiple branches are available) and the most recent firmware version to keep your fork synchronized, ensuring you benefit from the latest features and fixes. In January 2024, a significant firmware update was introduced to the 3.0 branch, addressing longstanding issues with connectivity between the keyboard and PC, as well as between the left and right modules. If you've encountered connectivity problems, it is recommended to update your keyboard to the latest version.

Periodically, a new "beta" branch may be introduced, incorporating experimental features. After these features undergo field testing, they are integrated into the main branch.

For additional details on branches and a comprehensive changelog, you can refer to the following link: https://github.com/KinesisCorporation/Adv360-Pro-ZMK/blob/V3.0/CHANGELOG.md

The Advantage360 no longer features the Thumb Key Modes and the included Dvorak layout. However, users can still customize any keys across various layers according to their preferences.

For those who prefer not to delve into customizing the keyboard on Github, Quick Config files are now provided below to access Mac Mode, PC Mode, and Dvorak. It's important to note that these files are not customizable. If further customization of your layout is desired, you'll need to construct it from the ground up.

Please be aware that the Quick Config files offer predefined configurations for specific modes and layouts and cannot be altered for additional customization.

The Advantage360 Pro does not support onboard programming and is specifically designed for power-users only. Remaps and Macros can be created by establishing a GitHub account and subsequently editing the keyboard configuration files on GitHub or by utilizing our Keymap Editor. GitHub will generate custom firmware files tailored to your settings and layout, which must then be flashed directly to the keyboard. For comprehensive instructions, please refer to the complete User’s Manual.

It's important to note that ZMK supports basic text string macros of up to 64 characters.

Every time you update your keymap with new remaps or macros, or utilize the Keymap Editor GUI, it is necessary to download a new set of left and right firmware files from GitHub. Subsequently, these files must be flashed to the corresponding keyboard modules. Detailed step-by-step instructions are provided at the top of the page for guidance.

Basic Cleaning:

Regularly perform basic cleaning by using compressed air to eliminate any loose debris in the key wells.

Deep Cleaning:

For a more comprehensive cleaning, exercise caution not to damage the keyboard by avoiding moisture or forcing off the keycaps. Unplug the keyboard and detach all individual keycaps to access the keywell, which may accumulate dirt over time. Utilize the included keycap removal tool by gripping two sides of the keycap and pulling straight up. If the keycap removal tool is not available, you can purchase one on Amazon or use two paperclips bent into the shape of a "J."

Soak the detached keycaps in warm soapy water, lightly scrubbing to remove any debris. Rinse the keycaps and allow them to thoroughly dry.

Utilize compressed air to remove any loose debris in the key wells and use cotton swabs with rubbing alcohol to eliminate stubborn residue.

Clean the outer plastic keyboard case with a microfiber cloth and a small amount of rubbing alcohol.

Do not reconnect the keyboard to your PC until it is completely dry.

The default Advantage 360 layout does not include multimedia keys. However, you have the flexibility to add various media actions to any key in any layer through GitHub. Refer to the User Manual for detailed step-by-step instructions.

You can explore the full list of supported actions here: ZMK Supported Actions

Please note that when incorporating media actions, use the consumer media tokens that begin with "C_" rather than the keyboard tokens that start with "K_". Additionally, be aware that not all actions are supported on all operating systems.

By default, this keyboard has NKRO (N-Key Rollover) enabled; however, for compatibility reasons, the higher ranges are not enabled. If you wish to use F13-F24 or the INTL1-9 keys with NKRO enabled, you can make the following modification:

Change CONFIG_ZMK_HID_KEYBOARD_EXTENDED_REPORT=n to CONFIG_ZMK_HID_KEYBOARD_EXTENDED_REPORT=y in adv360_left_defconfig.

After making this change, "commit the changes" and flash the new firmware to your keyboard. This adjustment allows you to utilize the specified keys with NKRO enabled.

Updating the firmware on the Advantage2 is a quick and straightforward process. Begin by opening a text editor window and running a Status Report to view your current firmware version and v-Drive size (2MB or 4MB).
