Kinesis Freestyle2 Split Keyboard with VIP3 Accessory Kit
The Freestyle2 provides multiple configuration in one modular, split-keyboard design. Simple, sturdy adjustment mechanisms provide intuitive adjustments to configure and use the way you want. Three optional accessories provide adjustable lateral tilt to reduce forearm pronation. Choose features with or without integrated palm supports, tent settings of 5, 10 and 15 degrees or more progressive settings between 20 and 90 degrees. Out of the box both modules are connected together by a flexible pivot tether allowing an infinite range of splay.
Reduces ulnar deviation, wrist extension, and add the optional VIP accessory kit to reduce wrist pronation.
Sleek, low profile design
Most keyboards including ergonomic keyboard 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.
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.
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.
Preassembled VIP3
The Kinesis Freestyle2 VIP3 Accessory Kit with integrated palm supports are
preassembled onto the underside of the Freestyle2 keyboard, and provides quick
and easily reproduced tent settings of 5, 10 and 15 degrees. This allows the
user to position their keyboard in a more neutral position and reduce the
pronation (i.e. twisting to a palm down position) of the forearms and wrist.
The integrated padded palm supports ensures that wrists are neutral by
supporting them to prevent wrist extension. When installed, the Freestyle2 with
VIP3 provides a very stable typing solution with no 'bounce' or unintended
movement. The VIP3 Kit includes a Right and Left V-Lifter, Right and Left Palm
Support and a Right and Left Replaceable Padded Palm Pad.
