The build quality of the keyboard seems excellent, and the keys offer a pleasing, springy response. This significantly reduces the strain in my back that comes from hunching over the keyboard (look down at your hands, trace back up to your shoulders, and see how turning your hands inwards to reach your keyboard cause your entire upper body to shrink down).
#Kinesis freestyle 2 wired keyboard for mac review full
For me, the advantage of a full split is that it allows my hands to be much more in line with my shoulders. This allows for considerable freedom in how the place the keyboard for maximum comfort relative to your hands. The main feature of this keyboard is that it splits completely in half, as these pictures illustrate. This is a little off-road for this blog, but I’ve literally been waiting for this keyboard for over 2 years, and I also think I can finally have the pleasure of announcing, “First Post!”. Kinesis offers an optional ergonomic Low-Force Keypad for intensive number crunchers.Below are my first impressions of the new Kenesis Freestyle keyboard.
Simply press the 'Fn' key to toggle between the embedded 10-key and the alphanumeric keys. Driverless hot keys for commonly used mouse actions: Pages 'Next' and 'Back', 'Search', 'Home', 'Cut', 'Copy' and 'Paste'. Kinesis has also doubled the width of the buttons 'Delete' and 'Esc' for more comfort. Only 45 grams of pressure are needed to activate a key. The Kinesis Freestyle2 Solo keyboard utilizes a quiet, low-force, tactile membrane key switch. The Kinesis Freestyle2 Solo keyboard has a zero degree slope which minimizes the height, effectively creating negative slope and reducing wrist extension. These designs tend to bend your wrists, which can cause poor blood circulation and numbness. Most keyboards including ergonomic models have a 10 degree positive slope from front to back. Both modules are connected together by a flexible pivot tether allowing an infinite range of splay so that your wrists are in line with your arms without twisting. If you buy the Kinesis keypad, we suggest that you place it at the left of your keyboard in order to keep your mousing and keying devices centered. For this reason, the keypad is integrated into the keyboard keys.
With only 380 mm wide, the keyboard allows you to keep your mouse close, while a normal keyboard, with a digital keypad on the right and with bigger footprint, can force you to a slight stretch to reach your mouse.
