A fantastic upgrade to your Ergonomics
Color: 9 Inch Separation
Last post I wrote about the Kinesis Freestyle Edge RGB Keyboard, an ergonomic gaming keyboard that is nice but expensive. Know that if you are purchasing the Freestyle Edge, you are paying for the luxury of RGB backlighting. You can see my full review of the Freestyle Edge here. For a more affordable option, consider the Kinesis Freestyle2. Before I begin, I would like to mention that I am not a doctor, and this review is based on my personal experience. For medical advice, always consult a doctor. This is not a paid review, but I will be using affiliate links to the products. If you choose to purchase anything I recommend, I get a small commission if you buy using my links. It isn't much, but every little bit helps. The Kinesis Freestyle2 is a wired split keyboard designed for ergonomics. The keyboard comes in a nine-inch split and a 20-inch split variation. I have the nine-inch split version, and I don't feel like I need any more. Plan for your setup. I have wide shoulders, and the split design has allowed for a more comfortable position. My only complaint about the Kinesis split keyboards is that they do not come with the optional tenting kit. Kinesis offers an optional tenting kit for all their split keyboards for a more ergonomic experience. I used the Freestyle2 without the kit, but I am so used to the tilt that I had to buy the kit for this one as well. Most people should be fine using the keyboard without the kit, but personally, the tenting kit makes long typing sessions a lot more comfortable. The Freestyle2 has two options for tenting, a 15-degree variant ($40 on Amazon) and a 90-degree variant ($200 on Amazon). I use the 15-degree variant and think it is perfectly fine, but the 90-degree is a solid option if you prefer a vertical keyboard. I don't have any experience with the 90-degree version and can't speak on how sturdy it is. The main differences between the Freestyle Edge and the Freestyle 2 are the switches and backlight. The Freestyle2 is a membrane keyboard with no backlight and it honestly doesn't need either. The key presses are soft and responsive, but they aren't customizable. I have been using this keyboard regularly for two years and haven't seen any visible signs of wear and tear. Unfortunately, Kinesis doesn't offer keycap replacements keycaps or mac conversions for this keyboard. The Freestyle2 also comes with a few preprogrammed macro keys for productivity. I haven't found too much use for these with my workflow. I used to use a cheap flat keyboard for work that left my hands useless by the end of my shift. There were days when I couldn't finish my work because the pain would be unbearable. Since making the switch to the Freestyle2, I haven't had any issues with pain in my hands and wrists. I recommend taking regular breaks and looking into stretches for added comfort. My only other complaint about this keyboard is that there is no number keypad. I don't really need one for my workflow, the number line works well enough, but the split design makes using numbers a slower experience. It isn't unmanageable, but people who work with numbers should look into getting a separate keypad. Kinesis offers a Numeric Keypad for those interested. If you are looking to make your setup a bit more ergonomic, consider the Kinesis Freestyle2 Keyboard. This is the perfect option if you don't care about a backlight, customizations, or key switches. ... show more

Convenient Small Learning Curve
Color: 9 Inch Separation
Though I've not had this long, I'm already loving it! I do wish it had backlighting and would have paid more for that feature, otherwise I would have needed to settle on the pro version with noisier keys. I'm just saying a version of this 'Freestyle 2' with a backlighting option would be perfect. With the other additional options offered, why not one more. That is another thing I want to mention before getting into this keyboard, the fact all you're getting are the 2 tethered keyboard halves, tenting options and number pad cost considerably more, in my opinion the tending add-on way overpriced. It's just 4 pieces of plastic and 2 stick-on cheap thin cushion pads, probably didn't cost $1 dollar total to manufacture. So, in that respect, and my opinion, they're sticking it to you by getting another chunk of money just for keeping this something unique from the others which honestly is all this is, a only slightly tented limited keyboard if you choose not to spend the ridiculous over-cost. That being said, the tenting option is great and combined with the keyboard feels wonderful. OK, enough fussing, now the good stuff. This is my first split keyboard and almost purchased others before this, due to the aforementioned personal negatives which the others offered standard. The caveat was they required new muscle memory in order to learn and become efficient in typing on it. I'm decades-long QWERTY flat horizontal line keyboard conditioned, and this particular one feels no different than I'm used to, except for the hand separation. But, honestly it's not been an issue whatsoever, everything is where my hands remember them being from a individual feel and the fact my hands are now comfortably shoulder width apart and orthopedically angled perfectly, I'm in typing Heaven. If you're like me, I highly recommend this keyboard. There's no doubt Kenesis has a reputation to uphold, and they haven't done a disservice with the 'Freestyle 2', but you are jumping through their, um I'll say pretentious hoops to get the perfect setup to give this keyboard its full potential, just spend the extra money in my opinion and mentally scold Kenesis for it. The unappreciative way over charge for tenting certainly feels like a cheap shot on their customers. ... show more

Split-type is awesome but woe to anyone used to a giant Enter key
Color: 9 Inch Separation
Review Image by Marko Marko
A split keyboard really is the way to go. You're in more comfortable posture and slouching less. The only drawback is there is no one-handed typing, ie if you want to quickly type a search term while still holding onto the mouse. As an added bonus a split keyboard is also more portable. Two halves can be packed into a backpack much more neatly than one whole. As to Kinesis Freestyle2 specifically, it is the most affordable split-type keyboard I was able to find. Not counting the R-Go Split which is compact-form and has shallow keys (ie it is a completely different type of keyboard) there is nothing else on the market anywhere near its price point. Everything else is at least $150 (including the mechanical Freestyle Pro) but can easily exceed $300. So at $90 the Freestyle2 is the cheapest way to test out the split-type. For me personally, the function keys on the left get in the way, as does the page-up row on the right. I'm used to there being empty space to the left of Tab and to the right of Enter, but in Freestlye 2 there is another 1 row beyond Enter without increased empty space in between. (And 2 more rows beyond Tab.) I find it disorienting and it increases the learning curve. Users may end up blaming typing difficulties on split-type that are really caused by Kinesis opting to cram a high number of keys on a relatively small board and sacrificing separation space. Just look at that enter key, it's small and surrounded on all sides, good luck finding that in a hurry. ... show more
