The Kinesis Advantage360 SmartSet Keyboard is a cutting-edge ergonomic marvel designed to boost comfort and productivity. This split mechanical keyboard features a unique contoured design that maximizes typing efficiency.
At its core, the Advantage360 boasts adjustable split modules. Users can separate and rotate these independently to keep wrists straight and reduce ulnar deviation. Moreover, the keyboard offers 3-way adjustable tenting, elevating the thumb side to minimize forearm pronation.

Connectivity is seamless with USB-C, and the keyboard is compatible with various operating systems. The Advantage360 includes a 10-inch USB-C link cable and features a SmartSet programming engine for enhanced customization.
With dimensions of 7.5″W x 8.0″D x 3.0-4.0″H per side, this keyboard strikes a balance between functionality and space efficiency. The total weight of 3.2 lbs ensures stability during use.
The Advantage360’s programmability extends to five separate layers, allowing for application-specific setups. This feature is particularly beneficial for professionals working on diverse projects.

- 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. Many ergonomists prefer a tactile response 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. Low force – 55g.
- Kailh Box Pink stem linear, quiet, low-force key switches. The Kailh “Quiet” Pink incorporates sound-dampening components to make them quieter than conventional mechanical switches, making it an ideal choice in open work environments where ambient noise is a concern. Super-low force 35g.
