  • AWARD-WINNING SPLIT DESIGN: Unlike fixed ergonomic keyboards, the Freestyle2 allows you to rotate and separate the key modules up to 9" to achieve natural hand, wrist and forearm positions for your specific body type and preferences.
  • ADJUSTABLE TENTING: The Kinesis KB820 model keyboard is pre-assembled with the popular VIP3 tenting accessory which enables 5, 10, or 15 degrees of tenting with integrated cushioned palm supports to keep forearms neutral and wrists supports for an optimal typing posture.
  • STANDARD WINDOWS LAYOUT: The Freestyle2 for PC features a standard Windows layout with hotkeys like Cut, Copy, Paste, multimedia keys, and an embedded numeric 10-key to boost your productivity. No software or special drivers required.
  • LOW-FORCE KEY SWITCHES: The Freestyle2 uses a custom membrane key switch that features a low-activation force and tactile feedback to reduce finger fatigue, impact and strain.

A great ergonomic keyboard
Style: PC Layout
It took a little bit of time to get used to this layout, but this is a very good keyboard for those looking for ergonomic equipment. It takes a bit of time to get used to the design, but practice and regular use will make it easy to adjust. The keys feel great and my fingers have never ached after prolonged use. Changing width and tenting angles are both great for adjusting the keyboard for optimizing comfort. I also really like that this keyboard has separate keys for Cut, Copy, Paste, and Undo. They make those actions much easier. I haven't used the web home, back, or forward keys very much since my mouse already has back and forward buttons. My main disagreement about the design is that the B key is on the left section. I strongly think it should be on the right. The Fn key can be confusing because it stays active after pressing it. I'm used to Fn only being active while the key is held down. The Delete key can also take some getting used to because it's the same size as the Backspace key and the keys are very close to each other. I've had a few experiences where I've tried to use Backspace but ended up hitting the Delete key instead. These issues haven't been enough to hinder my experience, and overall I'm very satisfied with this keyboard. ... show more

Finally! Comfort, relaxation, and flexibility in a keyboard!
Style: PC Layout
A week ago I ordered an "ergonomic" wireless mouse by Anker. I was so happy with it I decided to splurge and try the Kinesis Freestyle2 PC Keyboard & VIP3 which arrived today and I set up less than 30 minutes ago. None of the reviews mentioned the immediate shoulder relaxation achieved with the use of the Freestyle 2 and VIP3. Before, my shoulders were constantly hunched up around my ears and no amount of reminding myself worked for but a few minutes then it was right back to tension-ville! After having plugged in the new keyboard and toying with it for a couple of minutes, I suddenly realized my shoulders naturally assumed a relaxed position! This could be the single best benefit of all for me. I have the world's best masseuse but at $120 a session, I can enjoy the sessions rather than be forced into them! The heels of my hands don't even rest on the palm pads while typing anymore – I am holding my hands while typing in a way that would make any piano teacher proud! This is terrific! Furthermore, what terrific Left hot keys!!! I ordered a separate numeric keypad I hope will be delivered in the next day or so however, until then, I am going to try the embedded numeric pad - never liked them but must give it a go given how terrific everything else is! I am thrilled with my new found comfort and improved posture. I am certain, should I (correction, WHEN I) face another marathon computer session, I won’t need to see my massage therapist or my chiropractor, nor will I need a refill on my prescription narcotic pain pills. This is practically miraculous and all because someone had the common sense to say “Wait a minute! That’s not natural” and then to look at what is. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! ... show more

Very Good Overall
Style: PC Layout
I have been using this keyboard 8+ hours per day, 5+ days per week, for almost 2 years now (I am a full time web developer). I originally bought this because 2 months into my job I was having intense wrist and finger pain, as well as hand cramping. After using this keyboard for a little while my pain pretty much disappeared. I will say that it was difficult to get used to at first; my typing speed went way down for awhile as I got used to it, but using it consistently helped. I also had a lot of trouble initially if I used a different keyboard (such as temporarily using my laptop keyboard) because my brain and fingers would have to readjust. I can say though that nowadays I don’t have this issue and can switch between them just fine. Some points to note: - I do not really use the shortcut buttons on the left side. - I really dislike that the Delete button and the Backspace buttons are the same size. Even after 2 years I have not gotten used to this and often use the wrong key because they are the same size and almost the same amount of reach. - I use the “medium” tenting setting without the padding and it feels great. It matches the natural angle of my wrists very well. - I do not have the halves separated very far, but I do angle them a bit away from each other because it feels most comfortable for me. I like the amount of flexibility it provides. - I really wish there was a keypad included. I find using the Function key to trigger the “keypad” in the middle of the keyboard to be very unintuitive and using the number row is awkward. I know they offer a detached 10-key pad, but $40 feels so overpriced and it requires an extra USB port. - I’m very happy that this didn’t require any additional software to work, as my job is very strict about this. If I remember correctly, I just plugged it in and it worked like any other keyboard. Overall I love this keyboard. It’s hard not to when it saved my wrists and hands. I also love how versatile it is with how you can physically configure it. If the Delete and Backspace keys were different sizes I would probably give it 5 stars, even without the keypad. ... show more

Would definitely buy again
Style: PC Layout
Actually, this is a really good keyboard. I just couldn’t use it for my set up, but if I had a desk to use it on, I would’ve kept it, but I tend to use keyboard on my lap, so this was kind of a bad purchase for me, but I still recommend it for use on a desk when my friends loved it !

Best keyboard for me
Style: PC Layout
Well made, adjustable to fit your preferred angle, great tactile feel. Worth the price if you spend as much time as I do using a keyboard.

Not worth it
Style: PC Layout
As mentioned by others: good idea, poor execution. Here's why: 1. Day one most of the silicone anti-slip pads fell/rolled right off and could not be reattached. 2. Once the anti-slip pads are gone, this keyboard slides away from you very rapidly and puts you into an unhealthy over-extended posture. You could probably put a rubber mat under it but you just paid how much for this thing? 3. No insert key. You have to activate the Function key, then reach up to the far right corner. And, since you just activated the function key, you have to go back and hit it again to deactivate it after doing your insert. 4. navigation keys are not found by touch and are in odd locations. If you are used to extended keyboard layout and use page-up, page-down, and arrow keys a lot you might have trouble adjusting to this keyboard. 5. 10 key user? Sorry, you will either have to wrestle with this laptop keyboard-like 10-key feature or buy an external 10-key pad. 6. Number lock and scroll lock also require use of the hard to reach Function key. After 2 months of 40+ hrs a week using it, this one goes into the storage room. I am an IT manager and see a lot of equipment. For some people this keyboard might work. In my case, it was the key layout even more than the Ouija board slipping and sliding that made me give up on it. IMO, try other (cheaper) options before spending on this. If you have not already ruled it out, a Microsoft Ergonomic 4000 is rock solid and a has a conventional extended layout. On the pro side, the split design is very accommodating, the key feel is good, "tenting" adjustment is decent. ... show more

Saves my hands and made to last!
Style: PC Layout
This is my absolute favorite keyboard! I had my previous one for 9 years, so it really lasts! I type full-time for a living, typing tens of thousands of words each week. I thought I was headed for carpal tunnel surgery a decade ago, so I got this and also worked on some exercises. The split keyboard took a little adjustment initially, but now I hate to be without it. The tenting (raising and angling each side) keeps my wrists in a very natural position, and splitting they keyboard means my arms are kept at a neutral angle. Additionally, I learned to use a mouse ambidextrously, and I keep the mouse between the two halves of the keyboard so it's accessible for either hand (and also less stress on the shoulder joint since I'm not reaching out to the side to use the mouse.) I no longer worry about needing surgery! The only reason I had to replace my previous keyboard is because the E key started to fail--but that's no surprise with the workout I give it! The new one worked exactly the same and was super easy to install. I'm thankful to God for this keyboard and think it has extended the health of my joints. ... show more

Excellent keyboard for fixing wrist strain.
Style: PC Layout
Great keyboard and great customer service. I spend all day at the computer and I got this keyboard to release the strain on my wrists and arms. It works just as I hoped. The only thing I don't like is the location of the fn key on the left - I would like ctrl to be there. I'm not an administrator on my work computer so I don't have a work around. But that is personal preference, overall great keyboard and again the customer service was very responsive when I had one small issue with a write pad. Get this keyboard! ... show more
