Kinesis Freestyle 2 Split-Adjustable Keyboard for PC - UK Layout

Product Information

The hot-keys should now work! Q: The right side of my Freestyle2 keyboard is typing numbers – how do I stop this? Note: The Freestyle2 Keyboard comes with a component that secures the two modules together at a pivot point. Although this Pivot Tether is intended primarily to secure the two modules during transport, it can be used, to create a splayed (i.e. joined at the centre top) keyboard. However, this configuration will significantly limit the ergonomic benefits.

Ascent Accessory Kit: The more specialized Ascent Accessory independently tents the left and right modules of the keyboard in 10° increments, from 20° to a full 90°. The Ascent Accessory can be used with the Palm Supports at angles up to 40°. The 20" linking cable is generally advised when using the Ascent Accessory, as the longer cable facilitates better ergonomic positioning and allows greater flexibility. A linking plate, included with the Ascent Accessory, can be attached if desired to increase the stability of the two modules. The pillowed wrist rest contains a memory foam layer that, according to Logitech, offers 54% more wrist support and 25% less wrist bending when compared to your standard keyboard. It also has perfect stroke keys---slightly scooped key designs that match the shape of your fingertips, allowing for more fluid typing.Ergonomic Benefits Features Images Additional Resources Specifications Usage Tips Models Accessories 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. To use the number keys, simply press and release the ‘Fn’ key (bottom left of the keyboard) to toggle on and off. Q: Random keys aren’t working – how do I fix this?

Consider the Palm Support Accessory if you would like Palm Supports, but don't need to tent the keyboard. The Freestyle2 Keyboard features low-force, tactile membrane keyswitches. At only 45 grams, this is at least 25% less force than most traditional and even many other ergonomic keyboards. Rated at 10 million actuations, the keyswitches on the Freestyle2 will provide years of quiet, comfortable typing. Complete adjustability: The Kinesis is quite unique because you can really customize it for either 5, 10, or 15 degrees of angle so you can get quite specific on how it is set-up especially if you have wrist discomfort. This function is probably the main reason most people are interested in this keyboard; for some people it may resolve wrist pain associated with typing on a ‘conventional’ keyboard. The manufacturer refers to this angle adjustability (aka ‘tenting’) as either VIP3 (has the wrist rest already included) or V3 (no wrist rest is included) accessories. The Kinesis has a very low profile which means that its very likely that users will be able to use a natural wrist posture when it is just flat on the desk (without the tenting being engaged). Here’s a bonus: if you are using this product with a keyboard tray then you’ll be able to create a negative (keyboard sloping away from you) tilt which many people find to be ideal. From here, we followed the instructions in the provided instructional pamphlet and enabled Bluetooth on our iPad. After about a minute of scanning, the Kinesis KB800MB-BT keyboard appeared as an available device. We simply tapped to connect. From here, it prompted us to input a numeric code and press return. Once we’d done this, setup was complete.

Sleek, Ultra-Low Profile Design: The Freestyle2 has a substantially thinner and narrower design than most ergonomic keyboards, with a height of only 7/8" and a width of 15.375". Compact Design: The Embedded 10-key reduces overall width and places your mouse closer to your center reducing over-reach. Logitech's ERGO K860 is a shining star in the world of ergonomic keyboards. While priced a bit higher than other options on our list, it's for a good reason. This ergonomic keyboard boasts ample ergonomic-friendly features, plus it's compatible with a variety of operating systems and devices, including Windows, Mac OS, Chrome OS, and Linux.

Consider the Ascent Accessory only if you must type with your hands in a more than 15° vertical orientation. (Note that you must be a skilled touch typist to use this more extreme solution effectively.) The Ascent Accessory can be used with Palm Supports (sold separately) at angles up to 40°. The 20" separation cable is typically recommended for this accessory, as it provides the needed flexibility. An optional linking plate (included with this accessory) may be used to connect the two tenting modules if desired for increased stability. The two modules of the keyboard are connected by a flexible pivot tether which allow an infinite range of splay. You can disconnect the pivot tether to completely separate the modules and keep them at any desired position within the 9 or 20 inches reach of the connecting cable. Thus, the keyboard adjusts to your unique body type and shoulder width reducing ulnar deviation as well as arm and shoulder pain. 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. Tenting:With optional tenting accessories you can laterally tilt the keyboard by 5, 10, and 15 degree to reduce forearm pronation that is caused by flat keyboards. Yes, this post is "all about me". But arguably, this keyboard is the interface between me and my computer. If it makes it hard to use with these quirks, then it is counterproductive. can I suggest a better solution? No. We are all each different.
