I was looking forward to the Kinesis Advantage360 Pro, since it solves some of the issues with the Advantage2. It supports three different tenting angles and is a truly split keyboard. However, the Advantage360 Pro was quite a disappointment. The keyboard, which is a hefty 650 Euro, was plagued with Bluetooth issues, the Gateron Brown switches were tiring for me, and Kinesis didn’t improve the thumb cluster. I switched back to my Advantage2 after a while and the 360 Pro was collecting dust.
I got a Kinesis Advantage 360 through Upgrade Keyboards: https://upgradekeyboards.com/collections/kinesis-advantage36... with Box White switches, and it's been great. Expensive, yes, but great. I got the wired version for the usual reasons ("he who knows wireless, chooses wired"). YMMV. I also like the brown switches but like speed switches or box whites better.
The bluetooth issues are sort of resolved with the 3.0 firmware, but the previous firmware versions were pretty awful in scenarios where you turn the keyboards off and the pairing between halves becomes an absolute nightmare.
With that being said, while Kinesis' own firmware for their keyboards (SmartSet) has gotten a lot better over the years, it still doesn't really come close to ZMK or QMK. To me the functionality of the firmware trumps the occasional reliability issues of the bluetooth.
I just hate that they pushed all customization to a third party. I got another set of blank PCBs for my Kinesis Advantage 2 by emailing Kinesis support (which is fantastic, by the way) and paying roughly 100 bucks for them. Now they send you to upgradekeyboards who are expensive and have massive lead times when I just want some PCBs so I can replace the gateron browns in my keyboard without having to desolder everything.
Are they solved? I still see a lot of reports of people with issues with ZMK 3 on the 360 Pro. Someone who does switch replacements for the KA2/360 said that there is a design error in the 360 Pro, where on one of the halves the key well flex cable runs through the Bluetooth antenna clearance area. This also explains the high variance: how much the issue affects you depends on how the flex cable happens to be oriented in your unit.
But if the connectivity issues are indeed caused by this, the only real solution is a new hardware revision.
Have tried both, cannot go back to kinesis. Layouts seem very similar, but glove has home/end and pgup/pgdown keys in the main part, so thumb cluster has two alt keys and shift keys.
I cannot overstate how much better having shift keys on thumb cluster is.
