The Kinesis Freestyle2 Ergonomic Keyboard for Mac is available in both a standard model as well as the exteneded version. The standard Freestyle2 for Mac keyboard features 9 inches of separation, which works for most users, but the extended Freestyle2 for Mac offers 20 inches of separation between the split keyboard halves, and it works well for users with very broad shoulders or for someone who would like to angle their keyboards up to 90° with the Ascent accessory.

Freestyle2 for Mac Accessory - Kinesis Freestyle2 Adjustable Split Keyboard
The Kinesis Freestyle2 ergonomic keyboard for Mac is designed with two separate halves, which can be manipulated in a variety of ways with the accessories listed below. Use a tenting accessory, like the V3 or the VIP3, to angle and tent the keyboard to your desired position. If you prefer a more dramatic angle, the Ascent accessory will allow you to select any angle from 20 to 90 degrees for your keyboard.
V3 Accessory Kit [KB830HMB-US]
With the Kinesis V3 Accessory Kit, tent the Freestyle2 keyboard for Mac to 5, 10 or 15 degrees. The V3 accessory tents the two split keyboard halves without the palm rests. The V3 can be used with or without the optional tether.
VIP3 Accessory Option [KB820HMB-US]
The Kinesis VIP3 Accessory Kit easily attaches to your Freestyle2 keyboard for Mac and allows for fast and easy slope settings of 5, 10 or 15 degrees. Features of the VIP3 accessory include:
- Left and right V-lifters to define the slope of the keyboard
- Integrated palm supports
- Pivot tether provides maximum flexibility. The user can adjust both the splay and the distance of the keyboard halves
- A stable platform for typing without bounce
Ascent Multi-Tent Accessory Option [AC740-BLK]
For the ultimate in angle flexibility, we recommend the Kinesis Ascent Multi-Tent Accessory which allows for vertical typing with the ability to choose any angle between 20 and 90 degrees. The Ascent Multi-Tent Accessory eliminates all twisting of the forearms and pronation of the wrists. The Ascent accessory includes:
- Two multi-angle tenting modules, which attach to each side of the keyboard
- Modules are independently adjustable allowing each side to be angled independently of the other
- A linking plate, which may be used to connect the modules, if desired
- Accessory works with the standard model Freestyle2 for Mac, but is recommended for the Extended Freestyle2 for Mac keyboard with the 20 inch separation
- Black color

Professor Ergo's Thoughts:
The Kinesis Freestyle is an excellent ergonomic keyboard we recommend frequently. It has a very unique feature: it splits completely in half and allows the halves to be placed in optimal positions to maintain a neutral wrist posture. The quality of this keyboard is extremely good; we get very few problem reports. I recommend that users add the VIP or V3 option that tents the keyboard to reduce forearm pronation. If you like the idea of having more flexibility with how far you separate the keyboard halves (or you want to use this keyboard with the Ascent for vertical typing), you can purchase the extended 20" cord version of the Freestyle. Be conscious of separating the extended keyboard halves too much: if your mouse is too far to the right or left, then this can lead to extensive reaching for your mouse and possible shoulder fatigue. The Kinesis Freestyle in combination with one of the accessory options is an optimal ergonomic keyboard solution. I like the VIP, V3, and Ascent accessories.

Our Customers Say ...
I received the chairs today and they are perfect. Thank you for your personal attention to my shipping snafu. In this day and age of the internet and push button instant gratification, we sometimes forget that the real value is not in a price that is 1% better. It's in the value added by empathetic people how really try to help. Maybe you should create a company tag line like "Real humans providing great human solutions."
