Kinesis Freestyle2 Numeric Keypad

An ode to the Kinesis Freestyle2 Keypad

A numeric keypad that makes your desk flexible again

Do you work with numbers a lot, but don't want to be tied to a large keyboard? Then a separate numeric keypad is simply handy. The Kinesis Freestyle2 Keypad gives you a full numeric keypad, but as a standalone unit.

You can place it wherever you like: to the right of your keyboard, to the left, or even in between. This keeps your workspace tidy and allows you to keep your mouse closer.

The keys type lightly and quietly thanks to the low-force membrane switches. And with the detachable palm rest, you give your wrist some extra rest during data entry.

Nice and simple: connect via USB and you can start.

Why the Kinesis Freestyle2 Keypad?

For anyone who wants to enter numbers quickly, without a bulky keyboard

This keypad is designed for 10-key work: lots of numbers, lots of repetition, and a pleasant feel under your fingers. You get a separate numpad that perfectly matches the height and key feel of the Kinesis Freestyle2 keyboards.

It's handy that you can easily move the keypad. If you're not using it, you can slide it aside. And if you work with a compact or tenkeyless keyboard, you still have the speed of a numeric keypad.

At the top are extra functions often used for input and editing. Think Tab, Backspace, and the = sign. With the Fn key, you can also enable hotkeys for cutting, copying, and pasting.

What makes the Kinesis Freestyle2 Keypad so good?

The combination of a low profile, light key press, and the detachable palm rest makes this a great keypad for longer sessions. And because it works driverless, you don't need to set anything up to get started.

How to use it in practice

Connect the keypad to a free USB port (preferably while your computer is already on). Your system will recognise it automatically, so you don't need to install any drivers.

Fn: extra functions without software

Tab, Backspace, and = work by default. With the Fn key, you activate an extra layer for hotkeys such as cut, copy, and paste. The Fn LED shows when this layer is active. You can leave Fn on if you prefer.

Also not to be missed

Combines well with compact working

Do you use a tenkeyless keyboard, laptop, or a narrow (split) keyboard? Then this is exactly the kind of accessory that completes your workspace, without adding extra width to your desk.

A quick measure

Where do you place it?

Because this keypad sits loosely on your desk, you can decide where it works best for you. Do you often use the mouse? Then it might be nice to place the keypad a little further away, so your mouse stays closer to your body.

If you work a lot with numbers, you can easily place it next to your keyboard. This gives you quick access to the numeric keypad without immediately widening your desk.

If you use the palm rest, make sure your wrist stays straight while typing. That usually feels much more comfortable right away.
