    • A mostly fantastic keyboard with some brain-dead design decisions.
Color: 20 Inch Separation
I own two of these keyboards -- one for home and one for the office, both with the VIP3 attachment (highly recommended). I've been through several ergonomic designs, and for me, this is the best on the market, by far. The low-pressure, rubber-dome keys are pleasant to type on, and the 20" separation means that i can position the sections in such a way that i can keep my arms by my side and my shoulders relaxed. I have zero complaints about build quality, and i feel that my money was well spent. At this point, i should be clear: I do recommend this keyboard (see above). Despite its shortcomings, i bought a second, and i would buy a third if i had a third location of on-site programming work. But for the remainder of this review, i will be lambasting the designers for some unfortunate decisions that cause me daily grief. Given the attention that Kinesis gave to most areas of this keyboard, i find it perplexing that they included some truly brain-dead "features" for a modern piece of equipment. Firstly, the placements of several keys are questionable. The escape key may as well be in the upper atmosphere -- it's large, but i have to completely remove my hand from the keyboard and issue a shoulder movement to be able to reach it. As a programmer and a vim user, i press the escape key a lot. This keyboard has forced me to remap it to another key. The 'home', 'end', 'page up', 'page down', and 'delete' keys are nearly impossible to navigate efficiently without looking down at the keyboard. Somehow, 'insert' wound up as a function key (that is, you have to use the Fn-modifier to access it), along with 'scroll lock' and 'num lock', whereas 'pause/break' and 'printscreen' get center stage. Was this keyboard designed in the late '80s? Speaking of the Fn-modifier, the Fn key is a locking modifier. You can't hold it and press the key you want (e.g. 'insert') -- when you press Fn, the keyboard locks in Fn mode, and you have to press Fn again afterwards to revert. I get that they're trying to make life easier for people who use number pads a lot (which, um, you need Fn mode to access, even with 'num lock' on), but i can't imagine that it would have taken more than ten seconds' thought to realize that this would be a bad idea. The "convenience keys" (web keys, copy/cut/paste keys, etc.) are also poorly placed. I'm constantly accidentally hitting them, either at random or when i mean to press, say, the 'grave' key for a backtick or tilde (as a programmer, i use these a lot as well). This is frustrating, yes, but i could have easily disabled them or remapped them to something more benign, were it not for my next, and perhaps biggest, complaint. The "convenience keys" are not actually media keys. They cannot be remapped, because Kinesis made assumptions about your running operating system and hard-coded them as key combinations. I practically excreted a brick upon discovering this. A little background (skip this paragraph if you know how key events are handled by the OS): On a typical keyboard, if you press 'a', the operating system receives an event with a certain keycode. Your operating system knows that, since you told it you have a US keyboard, this keycode is associated with the letter 'a', per the US qwerty keyboard map. Typical US keyboard maps have keycodes for media keys, as well, which are interpreted as special key symbols. When you press a "web forward" key, the OS would look at the keymap and see that it lines up with the WebForward event. If a web browser then sees that you pressed WebForward, it knows how to handle it. Similarly, there's a WebHomePage event, a VolumeUp event, MediaPause, etc.. I use Linux/X, so my events are called things like 'XF86Forward', 'XF86HomePage', 'XF86AudioRaiseVolume', and others, respectively, but it's the same idea. Even if you buy a special keyboard with some newfangled media key that has no entry in your operating system's keyboard map, you can still map the key to do whatever you want, because a unique keycode is issued when you press it. That is, except on this keyboard. Here, the 'web forward' key does not issue its own (standard!) keycode, but instead issues an "alt+right arrow" key combination. 'Web backward', similarly, issues "alt+left arrow". "Web home" issues "alt+home". "Copy" issues "control+c" and "paste" issues "control+v". Actually, since it issues them by keycode, and i switched the 'control' and 'caps lock' keys in my keymap, for me, these latter events issue "capslock-c" and "capslock-v", instead. In what seems to have been an effort to combat what they knew was horrible placement for these failures of convenience keys, they put raised ridges on them (and on the home/end/pgup/pgdn keys) , so you can tell what key you're on. You know, like the raised ridges on the 'f' and 'j' keys. However, they put these ridges on _all_ of the right-edge keys, so they don't help you know which key you're fingering _at all_. The ridges are thus completely useless, since you already know that your fingers are at the rightmost edge of a column of keys with a gap beside it due to, well, the gap that's beside it. This last point feels like a nitpick in comparison to my previous complaint, but since it's also related, i'm including it as well. In summary: The day that someone comes along with something comparable, without the stupidity listed above, i will buy it. The day that Kinesis releases a Freestyle3 that's identical to this one, but fixes all of the above, i'll buy two. But until that day, this is, begrudgingly, my keyboard of choice. ... show more

    • Great ergonomic keyboard - two issues
Color: 9 Inch Separation
Love this ergonomic keyboard, it has helped with my shoulder/arm strains. 4 stars because I do have two issues with it. 1) The F7 key is on the left side, and it doesn't make sense for it being there. I'm used to F6 being the last key I could reach with my left finger, so it has thrown me off when I need to press F keys. I'm used to pressing F5 when refreshing a page without looking, now I have to take an extra second to look or feel the F7 key. 2) There are two additional columns of keys to the left edge of the keyboard. I don't know why they are there, but this has completely messed up my shortcut presses such as doing quick ctrl-c to copy, ctrl-v to paste, alt-tab through windows, etc.. All of my quick no look functions are now delayed due to the extra keys. It's frustrating because I've mastered quick shortcut keys with my left hand resting on the left edge of the keyboard, but I can no longer do that. Honestly I wish they would make a version of this keyboard without the 2 extra columns of keys on the left, and F7 key on the right side. I would gladly buy it if they came out with it. Again, great keyboard, you get to make the keyboard fit your own posture and your hand's positioning, which is very nice. But the two issues I mentioned above have hurt my productivity. The extra keys on the left side of the keyboard don't help at all, I make more mistakes with them there, they just tend to get in the way. For reference, I've used MS Natural Keyboard for the longest time. It worked well for me for 20 years, but it isn't totally ergonomic. Having a long keyboard with keypad attached, it means you have to stretch your mouse further to your right. This puts strains on your right shoulder & arm over time. For a keyboard to be truly ergonomic, it can't have the keypad. Which is why I loved this product when I saw it. I just wish they stayed true to keyboard design by not having the F7 key on the left side, and not have the extra 2 columns of keys on the left edge of the keyboard. ... show more

    • I immediately purchased another one as for my money it's the most comfortable and high quality keyboard I've ever used
Color: 9 Inch Separation
After about three thousand hard hours logged on my first Freestyle2 keyboard it finally took moving across the planet and not packing it well to finally kill one of these. I immediately purchased another one as for my money it's the most comfortable and high quality keyboard I've ever used. The magic to this thing isn't just the pop up angle you can put on either side which are more natural for your wrist that a flat keyboard, but that you can separate them physically so that each side is directly in FRONT of the arm of your chair, instead of you having to hold up the weight of your own arms for hours on end reach in toward a standard keyboard. It changes everything about your level of fatigue if you are typing more than an hour or so a day. For people who live in front of the computers this thing is essential. Couldn't be happier. ... show more
