Kinesis Style2 Keyboard Full Support At

Right-handed individuals with conventional keyboards are required to reach 12 or more for the mouse.

The Freestyle2 Keyboard is divided into two separate modules connected by either a 9 (the most common) or 20 cable.

This separation enables individuals to position the left and right sides of the keyboard shoulder width apart, allowing the shoulders, elbows, arms and wrists to relax in an anatomically neutral position.

This greatly improves posture and blood flow in the upper body, prevents undesirable rotation at the shoulders, and eliminates ulnar deviation at the wrist.

This reduces the reach for the mouse for right-handed individuals and optimizes the workspace for everyone.

The Freestyle2 Keyboard provides access to numbers along the top row, as well as via an easily toggled numeric layer embedded into the right-hand module.

At only 45 grams, this is at least 25 less force than most traditional and even many other ergonomic keyboards.

Rated at 10 million actuations, the keyswitches on the Freestyle2 will provide years of quiet, comfortable typing.

The VIP3 Accessory includes Palm Supports that move as the keyboard is tented, helping to reduce wrist extension by offering full support at all angles.

If desired the tenting mechanisms can also be detached at any time with the palm supports being retained for a more traditional keyboard position.

The Ascent Accessory can be used with the Palm Supports at angles up to 40.

The 20 linking cable is generally advised when using the Ascent Accessory, as the longer cable facilitates better ergonomic positioning and allows greater flexibility.

A linking plate, included with the Ascent Accessory, can be attached if desired to increase the stability of the two modules.

The Palm Pads are custom-fitted and attach directly to the Palm Support Accessory.

The pads are approximately 0.25 thick and made of closed cell foam with a gel-like feel, and are covered with a smooth Lycra fabric.

The pads can be removed easily when they need to be replaced.

One pair of Palm Pads is included with the purchase of either the Palm Support Accessory Kit or the VIP3 Accessory Kit.

Ergonomic Benefits Eliminates Overreaching for the Mouse - The Freestyle2 enables individuals to keep the mouse or other pointing device right beside the right or left edge of the keyboard.

Keeping the mouse well within the comfort zone, can greatly reduce the potential for shoulder, neck and wrist pain to arise from repeatedly reaching over the number pad for the mouse.
