The Avant Prime Keyboard has Programming Capabilities
If you long for the days when keyboards weren't an afterthought for
a computer, you will welcome the quality touch and feel of the Avant
line of keyboards
Weighing in at over 5 pounds, the Avant Prime comes with a solid steel base construction, mechanical ALPS click / tactile key switches. The Avant Prime comes with 12 function keys across the top.Each
key can be reprogrammed to represent any key you choose, allowing you
to customize your keyboard layout to you specific needs. The most
popular customization of the Prime is the swapping of the
“Ctrl” & “Cap Lock” keys. This moves the more frequently used
“Ctrl” key up where it can be used in combination with other keys
without the usual contortions. The Prime even provides replacement key caps, and a key puller for these two keys.The Avant Prime
also comes with complete Macro programming capabilities. You can
program up to 24 Macros of 72 characters of your choice. You can even
chain Macros together if they are longer than 72 characters. These
Macros can then be assigned to function keys as one touch Macros, or to
other keys that can be used with a hot key.
With each key rated at a minimum of 20 million keystrokes, you will be purchasing the finest keyboard on the market today!
