The Freestyle2 is the most versatile ergonomic keyboard on the market and is designed to adapt to your body type and preferences to increase your comfort and boost your productivity. Customize the position of the keyboard modules with adjustable split, splay and tenting to achieve natural positions for your hands, wrists, and forearms to reduce static muscle tension and strain. Adjustable split boosts comfort and productivity for all body types Adjustable Split Separate the modules to shoulder-width to keep wrists straight (up to 9 inches). Adjustable Tenting Included Tenting enables 5, 10, and 15 degrees to reduce forearm pronation caused by flat keyboards. Low Profile and Cushioned Palm Supports Zero-degree slope and integrated palm supports eliminates harmful wrist extension. Compact Design Tenkeyless layout results in a smaller footprint for closer mouse placement to reduce over-reach Kinesis Corporation- The leaders in computer ergonomics since 1992 Tenting with the Pre-Installed VIP3 Lifters Reduces Forearm Strain 5 Degrees Unsnap legs and fold flat 10 Degrees Snap legs and flip in 15 Degrees Snap legs and flip out Freestyle2 at 10 Degrees of Tenting Flat keyboards cause painful forearm pronation Pronation in the forearm and wrist occurs when typing with your palms face down towards the worksurface. Sustained pronation puts pressure on the forearm muscles and tissues which reduces blood circulation and can lead to fatigue and repetitive strain injuries (“RSI”). Research demonstrates that a moderate elevation of the thumb side of the hand dramatically reduces the pressure on the forearm muscles. What is tenting? Backed by extensive research and testing For 7 months the Atlas IPS firm conducted an independent study investigating the impact of the Freestyle keyboard’s unique split design on posture, comfort, and performance with 80 employees at a large U.S. software company. Findings: 100% were back to full productivity after a brief adaption period 96% preferred the Freestyle over their conventional keyboard 79% experienced a decrease in neck discomfort 50% experienced a decrease in ulnar deviation Kinesis Freestyle2 Keyboard with Pre-assembled VIP3 Lifters Specifications Width: Min: 15.4 inches; Max: 23.5 inches Depth: 7.1 inches Max height: 3 inches (at 15 degrees of tenting) Connection: USB Wired USB Cable Length: 6 feet Weight: 2.5 lbs 2 Port USB Hub (Mac Version only) Numeric 10 Keypad in Embedded Layer (PC Version only) Standard Layout No Learning Curve Choose Windows or Mac Layout Windows 7-10Mac OS X 10.4+ Low-Force, Tactile Key Switches Peak force: 44 gramsActivation force: 35 gramsTravel distance: 3.9 mmSwitch type: Rubber dome, membrane

It seems I type all day, and have gone through keyboards, have broken keys, and have particular criteria I need in a keyboard, and specific things I don't want.Important to me: ergonomic is #1. And part of that includes NOT having a numeric keypad attached. It means I have to over-reach and take my hands off the keyboard to use my mouse which slows me down. I've used the Microsoft Sculpt and loved it -- that is, until the doggle (?, the USB thing you plug into your computer) stopped communicating to the keyboard. So I bought another one. Except the new one had the same problem the old one developed after several years of great use. So I returned it.And the search was one. I got another one which had the same problem (the lag time between hitting the keys and it typing was either terribly slow, or the keys I typed never showed up. And then I started reviewing the reviews much more thoroughly, and it seemed NONE of the reviews of the ergonomic keyboards without numeric keypads had unanimously positive reviews.Except 2: one of them was about $200 + an additional $150 or $200 for the lifters. Well, if this thing works best with the lifters (which all reviews say it does), why would that not be included? Plus, it had features I didn't like and didn't really want, including bright red, blue and green lights on the keys, and keys you could program (largely for programmers, which I am not).Another feature I want is for the caps lock key to be backlit so I can tell at a glance if it's on or not.And then a friend sent me the link to this keyboard. It had all the features I wanted, none of the features I didn't want . . . at a fraction of the price. And the reviews were ALL positive.It's still costs more than the average run-of-the mill keyboard. But, when my friend compared it to when he buys a guitar.... he doesn't mind spending the money on a Les Paul.Well, my keyboard is how I make music!, and so I decided to go for it. It's my Les Paul!It was instant plug-and-play, I have the lifters in the halfway position, and am totally in love with it.It took zero time to get used to. So what that it has a cord.This keyboard is a dream. I'm so grateful to have found it!!!!!! You won't be disappointed.Oh, one more little thing. I use the little bumps that remind my fingers when they're on the home keys (or not!). These little bumps were rather little, and hard to sense. So I just added a little thing (a textured tape) to make the bumps bigger, and now my fingers find the home keys without my having to look!
