I’ve had my eye on the Kinesis advantage for a long time. Is there any form of virtual layering like on the ergodox? That’s been a key feature for me with the ergodox and I’d have a hard time living without it.

The new 360 has layering. I use the Kinesis Advantage 2 and I'm not quite sure, I don't think so. Both have a good manual on the website if you want to read about all the features.

There is a way to hack in an open source firmware on the Kinesis Adv2. It's called the stapelberg mod. It has layers and even RGB led to indicate layer.

There's only 1 layer on the Kinesis Advantage 2. The "numpad" layer. It is fully reprogramable so it doesn't need to be a numpad and you can layer all the keys but yeah it's a drawback compared to the Ergodox or Moonlander.

Layering takes mental effort. I find I don't like having to think about what layer I'm in.
