Kinesis Freestyle2 Ergonomic Keyboard w/ - Review

As a professional product reviewer, I have had the opportunity to test countless keyboards, but the Kinesis Freestyle2 Ergonomic Keyboard w/ V3 Lifters for PC stands out from the rest. This award-winning split design keyboard is a game-changer for anyone seeking a more natural and comfortable typing experience.

Unlike fixed ergonomic keyboards, the Freestyle2 allows you to rotate and separate the key modules up to 9 inches, enabling natural hand, wrist and forearm positions. This means that the keyboard can be customized to your specific body type and preferences, providing optimal comfort and support.

One of the standout features of the Kinesis Freestyle2 Ergonomic Keyboard is its adjustable tenting. The Kinesis KB830 model keyboard comes pre-assembled with the popular V3 tenting accessory that can adjust between 5, 10, or 15 degrees of tenting without palm supports. This design feature ensures that your forearms remain neutral when typing, promoting a healthy and comfortable posture.

The Freestyle2 for PC features a standard Windows layout with hotkeys like Cut, Copy, Paste, multimedia keys, and an embedded numeric 10-key to boost your productivity. I particularly appreciated that there was no need for software or special drivers to set it up. The keyboard is plug-and-play ready, which is a huge time-saver.

Another great aspect of the Kinesis Freestyle2 Ergonomic Keyboard is its low-force key switches. The keyboard uses a custom membrane key switch that features a low-activation force and tactile feedback. This design reduces finger fatigue, impact and strain, making it easier to use for extended periods.

In the box, you'll find everything you need to get started. The keyboard with a standard Windows Layout and the V3 tenting accessory is pre-installed for maximum convenience. Additionally, there are adhesive cushioned palm pads, a detachable pivot tether for adjustable splay, and a Quick Start Guide.

Out of 88 customer reviews, the Kinesis Freestyle2 Ergonomic Keyboard has garnered an impressive 4.1 out of 5-star rating. Many reviewers have praised the keyboard's customization options, saying that it’s a perfect fit for their hands and typing style.

One reviewer wrote, "I have been using this keyboard for a few weeks now, and the separation and tilt have been a game-changer. I no longer have to run to grab hand and wrist braces in the middle of a typing session."

Another reviewer said, "This keyboard puts my wrists and arms in a neutral position, which makes typing more comfortable. I love that I can customize the key configuration to match my work style."

The only criticism we could find from some customers was regarding the placement of the Enter key, which some feel is too small.

In conclusion, I would highly recommend the Kinesis Freestyle2 Ergonomic Keyboard w/ V3 Lifters for PC (9" Separation) to anyone for whom comfort and productivity are priorities. Its customizable design, adjustable tenting, low-force key switches, and standard Windows layout, make this keyboard a worthwhile investment for your physical and mental well-being.
