Hey! So we got the SmartSet App (beta) working for the Adv2 and is now available on our website:
https://www.kinesis-ergo.com/advantage2-smartset-app-beta/As of now it's only available on Windows but we have published the source code on GitHub so if anyone wants to play around with it here you go:
https://github.com/KinesisCorporation/Advantage2-SmartSet-AppBecause it's beta, I suggest backing up your layout files before using the app just to be on the safe side and follow the notes on the Kinesis link.
For many users it should be a very useful tool, especially for advanced layouts with lots of macros and remaps. The SmartSet App for the Freestyle Edge has been a great success, so I expect the same for Adv2 users. Directly editing the layout .txt files is great too, but if you have a lot of macros and/or have long macros it can be daunting looking at all of the text...the SmartSet app will certainly help in that regard. We expect minor bugs in the app, you can report them as well as provide feedback in the Kinesis link above, or you can always talk to me directly at tech@kinesis.com
Also regarding the
Freestyle Edge, we released a major firmware update that improved macros. Previously, the Edge was limited to a total of 24 macros. The new firmware update allows “you to program up to 7,200 marco characters per layout, which translates to 24 full-length macros (~300 characters),
100 shorter macros (~72 characters), or anything in between.” Hopefully a max of 100 macros (per layout) should be enough for just about any user. The Status Report will show how much memory capacity you’ve used, so for example SmartSet key + F7 for a status report you’ll see something like this:
Model> FS Pro
Firmware> 1.0.340.us (4MB), 03/13/2018
Layout> layout8.txt
Remaps> 0
Macros> 99
Macro memory used> 99.917 %
Macro Speed 0-9> 9
Game Mode> Off
NKRO Mode> Off
Status Report Speed 0-4> 3
