KINESIS Gaming Freestyle Edge RGB - Review

As a professional product reviewer, I had the opportunity to try out the KINESIS Gaming Freestyle Edge RGB Split Mechanical Keyboard (MX Red) (Renewed), and I must say that I was impressed with its versatility and functionality.

Firstly, the split design was great for both typing and gaming. I was able to move the right module out of the way and bring my mouse in close for improved endurance and more precise aim. Plus, the left module can be rotated for optimal key coverage or to squeeze into a tight space at a LAN. I even split the modules up to 20 inches apart and put my stream mic, HOTAS, or mouse in the middle for easy access.

I was also able to separate the modules to shoulder-width for an ergonomic typing posture and added the lift kit tenting accessory to reduce forearm strain. The detachable Palm Supports now include all-new thick cushioned palm pads for even more comfort. This feature helped me prevent wrist strain that I often experience after typing for long periods.

The KINESIS Gaming Freestyle Edge RGB Split Mechanical Keyboard has genuine Cherry MX Red mechanical switches that offer professional-grade responsiveness and unmatched durability. I was able to choose the switch that was right for me. Furthermore, all 95 keys are fully programmable for complete customization. I used the dedicated SmartSet key for convenient on-the-fly remaps and macros, or use the all-new SmartSet app for special actions or to customize lighting effects.

I found the immersive RGB lighting to be a bonus feature of the KINESIS Gaming Freestyle Edge RGB Split Mechanical Keyboard. The keyboard has 16.8M color per-key RGB Backlighting with 10 customizable effects like wave, spectrum, rebound, pulse, rain, and much more. Additionally, I installed the lighting expansion pack 1 to add dual-layer lighting and two-tone effects.

I liked the fact that the keyboard's 9 available profiles can save directly to its 4MB onboard memory for tournament play. I didn't have to worry about losing my settings or having to spend time reprogramming the keyboard for different games or applications.

As for the build quality of the keyboard, it was clear that Amazon Renewed put in the effort to ensure that the KINESIS Gaming Freestyle Edge RGB Split Mechanical Keyboard was as good as new. Although it was a renewed product, it looked and functioned like new.

The only negative aspect that I found with the keyboard was that it may take some time to get used to the split design. However, once you master it, the KINESIS Gaming Freestyle Edge RGB Split Mechanical Keyboard can be a game-changer in terms of productivity and gaming performance.

In conclusion, the KINESIS Gaming Freestyle Edge RGB Split Mechanical Keyboard (MX Red) (Renewed) is an excellent choice for those who want a versatile, ergonomic, and customizable keyboard that can improve their typing and gaming experience. Its genuine Cherry MX Red switches, immersive RGB lighting, and fully programmable keys make this renewed product a great investment for those who want a keyboard that can keep up with their demanding workload or gaming sessions. I strongly recommend giving it a try.
