The Freestyle2 Blue for PC is an award-winning split keyboard designed to adjust to your body and typing style. It features a familiar Windows layout plus convenient Multichannel Bluetooth technology for wireless pairing with up to three Bluetooth-enabled devices (e.g., PC, Tablet, or Smartphone).
MultichannelTM technology
The Kinesis Freestyle2 BlueTM wireless keyboard combines our award winning split-adjustable ergonomic design with the convenience of bluetooth connectivity. No more sacrificing comfort when typing on your PC, Tablet, Smartphone. Multichannel technology lets you pair up to three Bluetooth-enabled devices with the Freestyle2 Blue and instantly switch between them directly from the keyboard.
Sleek, low profile design
Most keyboards including ergonomic models have a 10 degree positive slope from front to back. These designs tend to bend your wrists. The Freestyle2 has a zero degree slope which minimizes the height, effectively creating negative slope and reducing wrist extension. The slim design provides you a 2-in-1 office and travel keyboard.
Accommodates a wide range of individuals
From small to tall and body types in between, the Freestyle2 allows for maximum flexibility catering to each individual’s unique needs. Out of the box both modules are connected together by a flexible pivot tether allowing an infinite range of splay. Disconnecting the pivot tether allows up to 9 inches of complete separation of both left and right keying modules. Perfect for individual needs ranging from a narrow footprint to complete separation. This design greatly reduces and or/eliminates ulnar deviation.
Driverless hot keys and Bluetooth Multichannel keys
Driverless hot keys for commonly used mouse actions. (Internet Page Forward and Back, Undo, Web Home, Cut, Copy and Paste). A vertical rib is located on the inside row of hot keys to provide tactile notification to the user.
Low-force, tactile key switches
The Freestyle2 utilizes a quiet, low-force, tactile membrane key switch. The typical average maximum key force of a switch is 45 grams. This is at least 25% less than most traditional and many ergonomic keyboards such as the Microsoft 4000 with maximum key forces of over 60 grams.
Tenting
Reduce forearm tension with optional tenting accessories
The VIP3 and V3 accessories attach easily to the base of the Freestyle2 keyboard allowing quick and reproducible tent settings of 5, 10 and 15 degrees, greatly reducing forearm tension.
VIP3 Kit features integrated Palm Supports (AC820)
V3 Kit does not use Palm Supports (AC730)
