Overview

The Kinesis Advantage 360 Pro is ratataque's full-size ergonomic keyboard. Unlike the Corne and TOTEM which are flat split boards, the Kinesis uses concave key wells that match the natural curl of fingers.

Key Features

Concave key wells: Keys are arranged in a bowl shape matching finger curl
Full key count: Has number row, function keys, and dedicated modifier keys
ZMK firmware: The Pro model runs ZMK, allowing full customization
Bluetooth: Built-in wireless support
Thumb clusters: Large thumb clusters for modifiers and navigation
