Background
Your FORM keyboard is now programmable with our new web-based interface called KINESIS CLIQUE.

We are still adding new features and functionality to Clique and we would love to get your feedback (both positive and negative) so we can improve the experience. There is a form at the bottom of this page to submit your thoughts and any bugs.

REQUIRED Firmware Update
Before using Clique, you will need to perform a one-time firmware update to your keyboard.
- Download the firmware file here:
- Connect the Form to your PC using the USB cable, and use a paperclip to double-click the Bootloader button on the underside of the keyboard to mount a removable drive called “FORM”.
- Unzip and copy/paste the downloaded firmware file on to the “FORM” drive. The indicator LEDs will flash blue while the firmware is installed. When the indicators stop flashing the update is complete.
- Replug your keyboard to restart it and you are now ready to use Clique.
Important Note: Both Windows and Mac may report an error with the file transfer because the virtual drive automatically “dismounts”, but this can be safely ignored.
Accessing Clique
- Connect your Form via USB to your computer.
- Using a Chrome or Edge web-browser, visit https://clique.kinesis-ergo.com/
- Select the “Form” serial port from the list. Note: If Form is NOT one of the choices, that likely means the firmware update was NOT successful and Clique cannot see your keyboard. Please try updating the firmware again.
- Hold the FN key and tap Escape to “unlock” the Form .
Programming Clique
- Follow the onscreen prompts to program your keyboard
- Read through the User Guide: https://kinesis-ergo.com/clique-help/
