Kinesis Freestyle2 Adjustable Split Keyboard Model

Black with 9 Inch Separation [KB800PB-US]

The Kinesis Freestyle2 Ergonomic Keyboard for Mac is available in both a standard model as well as the extended version. The standard Freestyle2 for Mac keyboard features 9 inches of separation, which works for most users.

Black with 20 Inch Separation [KB800PB-US-20]

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.

 

Kinesis Freestyle2 for Mac Accessory

V3 Accessory Kit

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 Kit

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 which define the slope of the keyboard
  • Integrated palm supports
  • Maximum flexibility with the pivot/tether, allowing the user adjust both the splay and the distance between keyboard halves
  • A stable platform with no bounce

Ascent Accessory Kit

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
  • Each module is independently adjustable and can be set to different angles
  • Ascent includes a linking plate, which may be used to connect the modules
  • Left-right separation is limited only by the keyboard's linking cable
  • Accessory works with the standard Freestyle2 for Mac, but is recommended for the Freestyle2 Extended keyboard with 20 inches of separation

Jar Opener

Don't let a jar of pickles, olives, or your grandmother's jam cause pain or injury. Trying to open a stubborn jar requires high hand forces which lead to unnecessary strain. A jar opener decreases the grip strength necessary to open the often-stuck jar. Keep your hands safe with an UPLIFT jar opener, free with your purchase.

    20 inch separator is great

    Posted by Eric on Nov 24th 2019

    I really love this keyboard. It has a nice feel but is still reasonably quiet for the office. The 20 inch separator is amazing, I can place my hands as wide as I want. I admit my typing accuracy has decreased for some keys but my overall comfort is exponentially higher.

    Excellent keyboard with the vip3 accessory

    Posted by Andrew Fuchs on Jul 17th 2014

    I just received the unit today, assembly was very easy and I'm loving the ability to space out my hands. I've looked into seperated keyboards because of my wrist problems, and it's amazing how the high tenting and the spacing really helps alleviate strain. Also, the mac hotkeys are great, many ergonomic keyboards don't come with mac options so this keyboard wins the token. Highly recommend! Also, the action of the keyboard is quite nice, it's amazingly easy to type fast due to the low 45g key action. Still not mechanical cherry switches, but pretty darn good.

    Kinesis Freestyle2 Ergonomic Keyboard for Mac

    This product is fantastic and after only a couple of months using the keyboard the pain in my wrists has virtually subsided so mission accomplished. The only things that prevented me from giving 5 stars are the following: 1) The picture on the website is a little misleading as it suggests that the keyboard is wireless, however it is not a wireless keyboard. 2) If the colour of the keyboard was white and silver to match the Mac iPad that would be awesome.

    Great Product

    Posted by Kevin Reid on Oct 18th 2013

    Well constructed, very user friendly, comfortable. I have "tennis elbow" and keyboard a lot. This keyboard is just fantastic for reducing the pressure and tension on my wrists and theyefore, elbow. What was especially cool for me was that I wrote the company, requesting advice, and I got a prompt and friendly response that was very informative and helpful. Great product; solid company! Right on!

    Almost a 5 star

    Posted by Daniel on Mar 11th 2013

    All things considered, I think it's a pretty good keyboard.

    Pros:
    - Key action is awesome. So much easier to press the keys than my old MS natural elite.
    - The split keyboard design along with the VIP adjustment kit allow you to customize the placement in ways that other keyboards can't compete with
    - I've been having less RSI issues with this keyboard. (To be fair though, I have done a lot of things to help with my treatment so I can't say for sure that this keyboard did the job).

    Cons:

    - I have one major con that irritates me on a daily basis. I bought the mac version of the keyboard and the function key only supports a full toggle rather than behaving like all other osx keyboards. It locks, and doesn't obey the os setting for making it behave differently. This may seem trivial, but it is extremely annoying because I use the function keys in both modes quite frequently throughout the day. Even more irritating is the company response to this in that they believe the existing functionality is "better" and are relatively dismissive of the idea that it should work like other OSX keyboards. My response from technical support was that they feel it's better like this and that they hope I get used to it.

    I'm giving this 4 stars because I don't know of anything equivalent that has a properly functioning function key. Otherwise I'd rate it much lower and switch in a minute.

    Average

    Posted by Chloe on Aug 17th 2012

    I bought this because I had RSI in my wrists. It was a little difficult to get used to but after about a week I had it down pat. I found that it did not really help my RSI too much, the vertical mouse and a Wacom tablet seemed to do the trick. I still think it is a really good keyboard though and just because it didn't work for me so much doesnt mean it won't work for someone else.

This product comes standard with a 2-year limited warranty.
