Review: Kinesis Advantage360 Pro | Daniël de Kok
I want to write up some reviews, but realistically it's not going to happen in long-form. So I'll try to do some short, blunt reviews without nice staged product shots with latte macchiatos.
The Advantage360 Pro is one of the two successors to the Advantage2 (the other being the Advantage360). The main differences are that the Advantage2 had a fixed-width split and only one tenting angle (20 degrees). Moreover, the 360 Pro replaces the limited SmartSet firmware by the open source ZMK firmware.
Split The variable split is a marked improvement to the fixed split of earlier Advantage models. People have different shoulder widths, and the 360 accomodates that. For people who liked the split distance of the earlier models, Kinesis includes a bar to connect the halves at that distance.
Tenting The two steeper tenting levels add additional comfort. The tenting mechanism is easy to use --- you can put the keyboard at a different tenting level in seconds. The only issue that I have found is that if the keyboard is in the middle tenting option, it can snap back if I press the keyboard to firmly.
