Default layout: QWERTY (Japanese qwerty keyboard driver)
All Advantage2 keyboards come preconfigured from the factory with the familiar QWERTY layout, but creating custom
QWERTY Layouts is easy with the simple Onboard Programming Tools (see next page).

Alternate built-in layout: Dvorak (Japanese qwerty keyboard driver)
Every Advantage2 also comes preloaded with a customizable onboard Dvorak layout. Dvorak typists can elect to purchase a
set of US QWERTY-Dvorak (KC020DU-blk) or US Dvorak-only keycaps (KC020DV-blk) to install themselves. However, a few of
the key actions will not match the keycap legends.

Thumb Key Modes: Windows, Mac, or PC
Users may configure the modifier keys in the thumb-operated clusters in one of three modes (see next page). These modes are
optimized for Windows users, Mac users, and for PC users who don't need a Windows key. Thumb Key Mode is set
independently from layout (QWERTY or Dvorak) and can be different for each layout. Thumb Key Mode defaults to the
Windows configuration for the Japanese model. An extra Alt keycap is provided for using PC mode.
Extra keycaps are not provided for "Mac Mode" as Mac users should purchase a US model for best usability. A keycap tool is
also included in the package
