- # Dactyl Kinesis
- Essentially a Dactyl CC physical key layout with an additional top row, further emulating the Kinesis Advantage (*1|2*) physical key layout.

- ## Kinesis Advantage Keymap
- ### About
- This keymap is designed after Kinesis Advantage's QWERTY layout with the following key differences:
- - There are only 10 F-keys in the main layer, F1 and F2 are moved to additional LOWER layer.
- - The INS key acts like a LOWER layer activation key and Del in LOWER layer ats like INS.
- - LCtl is placed where CAPS should be and CAPS is moved to a free key after F10.
- - Brigtness and volume control keys are added to LOWER layer.
- The keymap file also contains RAISE layer but it is currently equivalent to LOWER layer and does
- not have an activation key mapped. It is intended for possible extensions.

- ## Bootloader
- Enter the bootloader in 3 ways:
- * **Bootmagic reset**: Hold down the key at (0,0) in the matrix (usually the top left key or Escape) and plug in the keyboard
- * **Physical reset button**: Briefly press the button on the back of the PCB - some may have pads you must short instead
- * **Keycode in layout**: Press the key mapped to `QK_BOOT` if it is available
