You guys asked for more layers, so that’s what you get

Both 360 models have 3 default layers easily accessible from the factory:

1. The Top layer which has all your alphanumerics and other commonly used keys,
2. The Keypad layer for your 10-key. Tap the “KP” to toggle in and out of the Keypad layer.
3. The new Fn layer which has your 12 function keys. Hold either of the new “Fn” keys to shift in and out of the Fn layer.

Both keyboards support moving the layer-access keys and changing their behavior (shift or toggle) to make navigating layers a breeze!

Need more than 3 layers?

• SmartSet Model: 2 additional layers can be configured in the SmartSet App
• Pro Model: 5 additional layers can be configured via Clique

This one is easy…

SmartSet Model features Dye-Sublimation PBT keycaps: These are premium keycaps that are more resistant to sheen and fade.

Professional Model features Shine-Through ABS keycaps: The Pro model features white backlighting so to support working in a low-light environment these keycaps are used so the legends illuminate.

If you don’t like the standard keycaps offered with your keyboard of choice, you can retrofit any of our 3 accessory sets: QWERTY PBT, Dvorak PBT, and Blank PBT.

The Professional model features dual 1500 MAH, rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries

If you are using the keyboard with the backlighting on (a major power drain) the batteries should last for a full work day or two. If you have the backlighting turned off, you should be able to go several months on a full charge.

The Pro has a 30 second timer so if you step away from your keyboard for a moment it will go to sleep to preserve battery life, but wake up quickly when you return. And there is a handy on/off switch if you are travelling with your keyboard or want to ensure that it goes into deep sleep for maximum power conservation.

Nope!

We designed the Advantage 360 specifically to be used as a fully separable keyboard for maximum ergonomic benefits. We expect most people will enjoy adjusting the separation of the modules to suit their exact preferences, but the included bridge connector can be used to recreate the classic separation found on earlier one piece models.

Unfortunately, no.

We tried to make this happen but the switch sockets just aren’t reliable enough when mounted to the curved keywell circuit boards. Sockets were meant to mount to flat keyboards so it would have caused too many reliability issues. But that’s why we partnered with Upgrade Keyboards so you can eventually get a 360 Signature Series built with exactly the switches YOU want.

Other manufacturers may be offering contoured-like designs with sockets but BUYER BEWARE.

Yes, but there is a major “but”…

When the left module is plugged into a PC it sends keystrokes over USB, not bluetooth. However, the left and right sides always communicate wirelessly. You can plug the right module into a PC, but it is not designed to send keystrokes at this time, just charge the battery.

Each module only has a single port as the traditional link cable location has been repurposed for an on/off switch.

To simplify things for the vast majority of users we eliminated Thumb Key Modes and Dvorak Mode…

But Extra Mac Keycaps are still included and you can individually remap keys or choose from a variety of “Quick Configs” in either the SmartSet App or Clique.

Dvorak keycap sets are sold separately

The screw hole can be used for mounting the keyboard to a table-top or chair. Or use it design your own custom bridge solution. The hole is #8-32 tapped hole.

If you are an intensive macro user, you are probably better off with the SmartSet version…

But here is a quick comparison:

SmartSet Model

• Macros can be recorded on-the-fly or composed/edited in the SmartSet (Windows or macOS)
• Each Profile has the capacity for 100 macros of up to 300 characters and the playback performance can be customized for each macro
• Modifier keys can be used “co-triggers” so you can add more macros to each Profile or Layer without giving up dedicated keys

Professional Model

• All macros must be created via the Clique web app
• The capacity for “Combo Macros” is unlimited. Simply select the base action and then choose which modifers to add.
• The capacity for “String Macros” is limited to 12 macros of up to 32 characters. 5ms delays can be added but they count towards the character limit and the speed is not adjustable.
• You cannot use modifier keys as “co-triggers” so you will need to make use of layers to add macros if you exhaust the 4 hotkeys
