  • Product Description

    The Freestyle2 is the most versatile ergonomic keyboard on the market and is designed to adapt to your body type and preferences to increase your comfort and boost your productivity. Customize the position of the keyboard modules with adjustable split, splay and tenting to achieve natural positions for your hands, wrists, and forearms to reduce static muscle tension and strain.

    Adjustable split boosts comfort and productivity for all body types

    Adjustable Split

    Separate and splay the modules to shoulder-width to keep wrists straight. Choose the standard 9 inch or the extended 20 inch separation model.

    Available Tenting

    Tenting enables 5, 10, and 15 degrees to reduce forearm pronation caused by flat keyboards. Chose the VIP3 (with Palm Supports) or V3 Accessory (without Palm Supports).

    Low Profile

    Zero-degree slope and available cushioned Palm Supports Accessory eliminate harmful wrist extension.

    Compact Design

    Tenkeyless layout results in a smaller footprint for closer mouse placement to reduce over-reach

    Kinesis Corporation

    Kinesis Corporation was founded in 1991 with the objective of developing the first computer keyboard optimized for comfort and productivity. After extensive research, the first Kinesis contoured keyboard, the Model 100, was launched commercially in 1992. The success of the Kinesis contoured keyboard in solving intractable RSI problems has been remarkable and unprecedented.

    Twenty-seven years later and Kinesis is still creating innovative ergonomic keyboards for work and recreation.

    • Seattle, Washington USA
    • Liftetime Tech Support

    The Freestyle design is backed by extensive research and testing

    For 7 months the Atlas IPS firm conducted an independent study investigating the impact of the Freestyle keyboard’s unique split design on posture, comfort, and performance with 80 employees at a large U.S. software company.

    Findings:

    • 100% were back to full productivity after a brief adaption period
    • 96% preferred the Freestyle over their conventional keyboard
    • 79% experienced a decrease in neck discomfort
    • 50% experienced a decrease in ulnar deviation

    Optional tenting accessories reduce painful forearm pronation caused by conventional flat keyboards

    Customers are dissatisfied with the key feel of the keyboard.

    Not Worth it for a Mac User
    3 Stars
    Not Worth it for a Mac User
    1. The function keys don't work the same way as they do on every Mac keyboard.2. The B key is only on the left half and the Y key is only on the right half, even though there was plenty of space to put those keys on both sides. This leads to near-constant typos.3. The proportions between the keys are different from every Mac keyboard. I've done cmd-C multiple times when trying to do cmd-V. The function keys are totally out of proportion with the number keys. And the right shift key is to the left of the up arrow instead of above it. Not sure why this is called "for Mac", since all Mac users will have to re-learn how to type. Having to look down at my hands constantly puts too much strain on my neck.I would recommend just getting two actual Mac keyboards (e.g. Magic Minis) and angling them how you want. Then literally the only downside is that shift/command/caps lock/option/control work for only the side that you press them on. Although that's a pain, it's way better than having to deal with the three issues above.
