Default Keyboard Layout
The Advantage360 may look intimidating at first, but the layout is
designed to work with your body and most keys are accessed with
the same fingers touch-typists are accustomed to using.
- Concave keywells place alphanumeric keys within easy reach
- Heavily-used editing keys are positioned under your thumbs
- F1- F12 are accessed by
holding
either of the two “fn” layer keys
- The numeric keypad is accessed by
tapping
the “kp” layer key
- 4 blank “hotkeys” are available for macros or custom key actions
- Onboard programming commands are triggered by key
combinations initiated with the “SmartSet” Key
3 Default Layers
Each key can perform multiple actions depending on which “layer”
is active on the keyboard. The layer LEDs will illuminate when you
move away from the base layer. By default, most keys perform the
same action in all three layers. If a key performs multiple actions, the
keycap will feature a second or third legend on its front face.
1) Base Layer:
In the base layer, each key performs its primary
action, which is legended on the
top
of the keycap.
2) kp Layer:
Tap the “kp” key on the left module to access the kp
layer, and tap it again to return to the base layer. Kp layer actions
are legended on the
lower right corner
of the keycap.
3) fn Layer:
Press and hold either of the “fn” keys with your pinky
to temporarily access the fn layer, and release to return to the
baselayer. Fn layer actions are legended on the
lower left corner
of
the keycap.
10 Available Profiles
The Advantage360 features 10 onboard Profiles. The factory-default
profile, Profile 0, is non programmable to prevent accidental
programming by novice users. If you don’t plan to customize the
keyboard, this is the perfect profile for you.
If you do plan to customize the keyboard, you’ll need to first switch
to one of the 9 programmable profiles. Switching between profiles
is easy using the convenient onboard shortcut and the number row.
Switch Profiles: + 0 - 9
