Description

Why the Kinesis Freestyle 2?

This ergonomic keyboard consists of two equally sized parts that you can split or connect together as you wish. For example, you can place these split parts in line with your arms for optimal comfort.

The Kinesis Freestyle 2 is specifically designed so that you can fully adjust it to the natural posture of your wrists and hands. You could actually say that this keyboard adapts to you, rather than the other way around. This way, you strain your muscles less quickly and work more comfortably.

The numeric keypad is absent on the Kinesis Freestyle 2, saving space. You can still use the numeric part on this keyboard in combination with the FN keys. An advantage of the compact size is that you don't have to operate the mouse far outside the reach of your body. This prevents discomfort in your arm and shoulder.

A striking feature of the Kinesis Freestyle 2 is that the ‘hotkeys’ such as copy, paste, home, and search are located on the left side. This is intended to relieve your right hand somewhat. Below the F-keys on the right side, you will find even more functions, and these can also be operated with the FN key.

What also immediately stands out when using this keyboard are the special ‘low-force tactile key’ keys. You will quickly notice that these keys require much less pressure than average (up to 25%). This provides extra great comfort when typing with it.

The Kinesis Freestyle 2 keyboard is available in black and for PC and Mac. You connect it with a USB cable. The accompanying cable is 2 metres long. The keyboard is 390-520 mm wide, 180 mm deep, and 22 mm high.

Despite its unique shape, the compact size of this keyboard takes up relatively little space. Take the Kinesis Freestyle everywhere with you and always create your perfect workspace with this ergonomic keyboard.

This is what makes an ergonomic keyboard so good

Anyone who works a lot in an office knows that this can be strenuous for your wrists. It's not always easy to find a suitable solution for this, but a good keyboard can help you out.

Ergonomic keyboards prevent and alleviate discomfort through a number of clever features. For example, these keyboards are often narrower, allowing you to place the mouse closer to your body. This reduces tension in the wrist, arm, and shoulder.

Get the most out of it

The Kinesis Freestyle 2 is specially designed to perfectly match your ideal posture. You can 'freestyle' with it anywhere to create an optimal working posture. With this keyboard, you don't have to wait for comfort at your workplace, because with the Kinesis, you can ensure it yourself.

This keyboard lives up to its name, as you can definitely 'freestyle' with it. The Kinesis Freestyle 2 offers many possibilities to fully adapt it to your posture and use it anywhere. Here you will find the possibilities and tips to get started with it.

To start, you'll see that the two parts of the Kinesis Freestyle 2 can move independently to create an optimal angle for you. It is possible to split the two parts up to 22 cm apart. The two parts of the keyboard are connected by a connector that you can detach. Without the connector in between, you can position the two parts separately.

You can extend the comfort of the Kinesis Freestyle 2 with accessories such as an adjustable base (with different height settings) and a wrist rest.

We recommend that you take your time to try out which setting and position of this Kinesis keyboard suits you best for comfortable working. You may need some time to get used to this keyboard. Give it time, because by becoming familiar with the use of this ergonomic keyboard, you will prevent wrist and shoulder complaints after long working days.

Also, don't miss this

Want to get more out of your Freestyle2? Then combine it with the VIP3 set. This allows you to set the Freestyle at an angle of 5, 10, or 15 degrees. This promotes a relaxed arm posture.
