Kinesis Freestyle2 for PC (20cm separation)

Award-winning split keyboard

The Freestyle2 is an award-winning split keyboard designed to address the ergonomic risk factors related to typing by adjusting to your body. It features a familiar Windows layout and convenient hotkeys.

 

The Kinesis Freestyle2 for PC is available with two separation options, 9″ and 20″.

Freestyle2 for PC 9″ separation                                   Freestyle2 for PC 20″ separation

 

Sleek, low profile design

Most keyboards, including ergonomic 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 minimises the height, effectively creating negative slope and reducing wrist extension.

 

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 for 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.

 

Low-force, tactile key switches

The Freestyle2 utilises 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 such as the Microsoft 4000 with maximum key forces of over 60 grams.

 

Driverless hot keys and Bluetooth Multichannel keys

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.

 

Standard key layout

Familiar key layout provides for minimal adaptation time.
