Product description
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 and splay the modules to shoulder-width to keep wrists straight. Choose the standard 9 inch or the extended 20 inch separation model.
Available Tenting
Tenting enables 5, 10, and 15 degrees to reduce forearm pronation caused by flat keyboards. Chose the VIP3 (with Palm Supports) or V3 Accessory (without Palm Supports).
Low Profile
Zero-degree slope and available cushioned Palm Supports Accessory eliminate harmful wrist extension.
Compact Design
Tenkeyless layout results in a smaller footprint for closer mouse placement to reduce over-reach

Kinesis Corporation
Kinesis Corporation was founded in 1991 with the objective of developing the first computer keyboard optimized for comfort and productivity. After extensive research, the first Kinesis contoured keyboard, the Model 100, was launched commercially in 1992. The success of the Kinesis contoured keyboard in solving intractable RSI problems has been remarkable and unprecedented.
Twenty-seven years later and Kinesis is still creating innovative ergonomic keyboards for work and recreation.
