Description

The Kinesis® FreestyleTM adjustable split keyboard is a breakthrough in ergonomic design. Created with input from ergonomists and health professionals, the Freestyle adapts to the specific needs of each user, minimizing awkward postures, while providing a stylish accent to any workstation.

Featuring simple, sturdy adjustment mechanisms the Freestyle is intuitive to configure and use. Interchangeable accessories provide features never before available from just one keyboard design – the Freestyle Solo™. There are different configurations that allow the user to choose features that offer complete separation, adjustable front splay, adjustable or fixed tenting, with or without integrated and removable, padded palm supports. Other unique features of the Solo keyboard include driver-less hot keys for mouse intensive actions, an embedded 10-key (PC only), low-profile design to promote neutral wrist posture, a Pivot Tether™ connecting the two keying modules together and quiet, tactile key switches.

Features

Sleek, low profile design
Most keyboards including ergonomic models have a 10 degree positive slope from front to back. These designs tend to bend your wrists. The Freestyle2 has a zero degree slope which minimizes the height, effectively creating negative slope and reducing wrist extension. The slim design provides you a 2-in-1 office and travel keyboard.

Accommodates a wide range of individuals
From small to tall and body types in between, the Freestyle2 allows for maximum flexibility catering to each individual’s unique needs. Out of the box both modules are connected together by a flexible pivot tether allowing an infinite range of splay. Disconnecting the pivot tether allows up to 9 inches of complete separation of both left and right keying modules. Perfect for individual needs ranging from a narrow footprint to complete separation. This design greatly reduces and or/eliminates ulnar deviation.

Optional palm supports
Optional padded palm supports reduce wrist extension by keeping wrists neutral.

Driverless hot keys
Driverless hot keys for commonly used mouse actions. (Internet Page Forward and Back, Undo, Web Home, Cut, Copy and Paste). A vertical rib is located on the inside row of hot keys to provide tactile notification to the user.

Familiar key layout
Familiar key layout provides for minimal adaptation time.
International versions also available in French, German, Spanish, Swedish and UK layouts.

Low-force, tactile key switches
The Freestyle2 utilizes a quiet, low-force, tactile membrane key switch. The typical average maximum key force of a switch is 45 grams. This is at least 25% less than most traditional and many ergonomic keyboards such as the Microsoft 4000 with maximum key forces of over 60 grams.

Pre-assembled VIP3 and V3 versions
For the utmost in convenience the Freestyle2 can be purchased with either the VIP3 (KB820HMB-us) or V3 (KB830HMB-us) accessory pre-installed onto the Freestyle2 keyboard. To do so, in the dropdown menu for Separation choose 9″ and under Options choose either Pre-assembled with V3 or VIP3.
